Import gerbers from Altium to PCB Editor 16.6

Hi.

I work with ORCAD PCB Designer Professional 16.6. I tried to import gerbers from altium (with .GBL, . GBS, .GML, .GTL, .GTO, .GTP, .GTS) but I couldn't.

So, it is possible to import that altium gerber files to this version of PCB Editor?

If it is possible, how can I do that?

And if it is not possible, it is possible in other version of PCB Editor or do I need some tool independently PCB Editor version?

Allegro/Orcad PCB only supports gerber files which were exported by Allegro/Orcad... There are small format differences, like how the coordinates are stored. You can manually edit these to match the formatting of how Allegro would export it, but it takes some trial and error.

Some time ago I've made a gerber import in Skill. It does not work perfect so I cant share the code (yet). However if you send me the gerber data i can give it a try ?
