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

Have you figued out how to import the gerber data into Camtastic? Once that is done click the tool menu at the top then the assembly utilities then create and group parts. This will allow you to select the pads for a given package and name it the
