We currently use Aegis CircuitCam for our Production work instructions, and machine programs. I am looking for an alternative, as CC is no longer supported. We receive Gerbers (sometimes CAD files) and BOM from our customers. That is all that I can

| Anyone know of someone who can convert mylar top layer board data to Gerber data? We have some old designs that all other data is now lost. | Jerry: You could tape the mylars to a digitizer pad and enter the layout into your PCB layout program o

Good morning Mark, CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) products are designed to solve such tasks. You can try CAM350 for example. CAM350 understands different ASCII exported data from different CAD systems. CAD ASCII export contains all necessary inf

Hi chas, Should you still be in the market for "thru hole to smt conversion" services we are doing this sort of design all the time even converting a supplied stuffed board into gerber files for manufacturing with a parts list and all assembly files

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
