GC-PowerPlace from http://www.graphicode.com/ will do this but takes time to get to grips with and can be time consuming depending on the design complexity and the type of data available. Ideally i recommend asking for CAD data as this will contain

You can generate XY Centroid, from Gerber files using FAB 3000 V7 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSHwBJ5u3uo www.fab3000.com www.numericalinnovations.com

At my company we have to capture centroid data from gerber information on almost a daily basis, so tinkering and toying with quicker and easier methods of getting the job done are fairly common place with us. As stated by Richard Larue UniSofts cad

http://www.graphicode.com/GC-PowerPlace this does, I had a dabble and while it does seem quite capable the learning curve is quite steep and I'd wager the price is too. As with GCPrevue, the user interface is hardly what you would call streamlined or

Gerber in general is not best data set for assembly, alot of processing has to be done, manually or via software tools, all with their nice features, but as you state there is no actual datum XY , pin 1 , rotation references thus has to be 'generated

PROCAM is intended to extract Centroid from the raw Gerber only. You just need to have 2 layers (paste or mask layer - to identify pads, and silk layer - for reference designators). Centroid is the output of PROCAM.

You're in the wrong file. You're looking at solder pad data. You need to look at centroid data. Look here: http://i.screamingcircuits.com/docs/understanding-the-centroid-file-r2-2.pdf We have no relationship, nor receive benefit from the company r

Hello, We offer a product called - PROCAM for this very application. PROCAM uses Gerber (274X) as input and extracts the centroid data for each component automatically. It exports the centroid to standard excel format (including board outline, circu

Problem is I dont have the centroid file. I only have the gerber file...
