Does anyone know if there is a shareware for freeware program that will convert gerber data to Centroid Data?

Hello there; Please pls try & contact the graphicode company and ask for GC-place demonstration program Disk. Using this program U can generate the XY centroids using Centroids Data extraction command . Hope this help.

We do not have capabilities with our current PCB layout software to generate a pick and place file and/or centroid data. Consequently, we are teaching all centroids at the machine. Are there any software tools or utilities that can take a basic ger

Also take a look at vplan from Mentor graphics(Valor) this has very powerful CAD/CAM to centroid capability...can generate Centroid data from Gerber - creates packages , polarities and assigns Refdes with easy to use tool...

Anyone using Circuit Cam? We too are looking for a gerber/centroid converter. I used the demo of GraphiCode GC-PowerPlace and it works, but seems cumbersome. It's also difficult to substantiate the large capital cost of these programs without being v

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

The merge software looks good but still not always getting the results i want - The following website can carry out a BOM to centroid xy placement data merge - http://www.surfacemountprocess.com/centroid-file-generation-service.html
