At Gerberdata.com we use CAM350 from Downstream Technologies to translate gerber files for both SMT and Test fixtures. We also use CAM350 for Reverse Engineering Gerber files into a complete CAD database. Visit our website for more information. -Pau

from supplier of pcb I get .ger files, but in Dek OLE I need .gbx files to have a pcb picture as a help - Is it possible to covert one to another to use it properly in OLE??? (with CAD or CircuitCam or other???) or maybe I need .gbx files directly? I

I've used an old version (maybe 7 or 8 years old) of GC-Place to convert gerber to centroid data. It is semi-automatic. If I remember correctly we'd start by selecting the pads for the largest components first. The software would find matching gro

I agree with Jon, that using Gerber data is a pain in the butt, but that doesn't answer your question about what software to use. CircuitCAM, VALOR, UniCAM (now Tecnomatix), and GC Place are the more popular third party software packages that deal d
