| 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

While it might not be what you prefer to do, but rather than converting directly from Mydata to Panasonic, can you simply use a Gerber converter to produce centroid information and then use the centroids to program your Panasonic machine? Search the

You can convert from Gerber to DXF which CAD can read, but it still won't give you P&P data.

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

Viewmaster may help. I talked with them in the past about using Gerbers to generate P&P data. I haven't used it but know where you are coming from.

Hello, We have made a small tool - PROCAM - for extraction of Centroid Data (X, Y, R, etc.) from Gerber. There are a few softwares available already in the market doing this but they cost a lot of money. Our target is to have PROCAM available to cus

Hi Mark, You can use the software called GC-PLACE to convert centroid, there are alots of SMT process engineer using it. Regards Steve USA STENCILS

Another software option for you maybe GC-Powerplace by GraphiCode. Before purchasing CircuitCam, we used an older version; GC-Place, with good results. Sorry, I don't know pricing. Our version is very flexible (creating Gerber, Gerber to DXF, output
