Try PCBSynergy. It does VIOS, both versions, can read 10 CAD formats does the Philips CAD2CAD interchange format(*.CAD)doesn't work from Gerber files but does interface to Visualplace which does, which in turn interfaces to PCBSynergy. PCBSynergy is

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

We designed a fairly simple software called PROCAM to do exactly that! It takes 2 Gerber layers - Paste/Mask layer and the Silk layer. Within minutes you can extract all the centroids. PROCAM has a standard excel output with all the centroids, fiduci

I use Cad2Cad v1.5 with Phillips Topaz. I don't know how much is differs, try this: Converting data to a Philips VIOS Text File format: 1. Open the pick and place data in Excel and format it to look like table 1. ** Make sure you delete the �mm�

UFOS is a much earlier format which has very truncated details over VIOS , so as an intermediate going from later formats such as the versions of VIOS you are suggesting, is probably not the best, or more succintly it sucks. Send me a copy of your in

You can try my program PCBSynergy which generates the VIOS formats from CAD files, or PCBCSV files. http://members.iinet.net.au/~sarason/ sarason

Is there any way to copy files in the VIOS format directly from the machine and upload them to another machine? It seems to me that all files are stored in one database :(

Try to get hold of the Philips/Assembleon Cad2Cad program, it is (or was) free. You can import several (proprietary) file formats and centroid files and export it as VIOS text-files. All you need to do then on the machine is assign the correct compon

There is a difference between VIOS and VIOS TEXT. If you want to copy the program from one machine to another exactly, I would suggest you do VIOS. Just insert a floppy and perform "Make PCB Data Disk". This formats the disk in VIOS format. Next go t

Hi, here's my 2 cents sir: You need.. a) The Gerber Data and the BOM b) Extract the XY CAD from the GERBER and build what they call Centroid Data. Save this in text format. c) Use Cad2Cad to import the centroid data and save it as Philips VIOS txt
