Importing Gerbers CAM350

archive
archive over 18 years ago

I have a set of gerbers that have to be imported into Allegro. Allegro will not import them but is there a way of using CAM350 to import them? I have tried to use CAM350 but Allegro still does not read the files correctly. Are there any setting that will work? Indirectly the dxf out of CAM350 works but it is not perfect. Thanks Jeff

    Hi,

    You can do in the following way if you have PADS tool with you. First you have to do reverse Engineering in CAM350 with the gerber files by following steps.

    Edit layer, Convert Draw to Flash, Extract Netlist, Build Parts, Place parts & Export Cad Data to Power PCB.

    In CAM 350 help type "Reverse Engineering". You will get the steps to do reverse Engineering.


    Once if you convert the gerbers in PADS Power PCB, you can import the PADS file to Allegro.

    All the best.
