Problem in loading a Geber file into Allegro PCB?

Hi all,

I have received Gerber files from my manufacturer that can't import them to Allegro? They are edited version of my Gerber files which I had sent them for fabrication. They have applied some modifications on them and returned them to me to confirm them. When I tried to import them into Allegro PCB I received an error message indicating the lack of art_param.txt file in the search path!. If put that file from my original generated Gerber files. I can't see anything after import:

    Allegro will normally only read in Gerber it has created. Because your fabricator has made "tweaks" changes the gerber format. You may be better off using something like GC Prevue or Viewmate (free tools) to look at the changes he has made.
