Can anyone give me suggestions as to what software that can convert gerbers into cad data and be brought into Unicam (UGS PLM Software). We are currently using Gerbcam but it outdated and we need to upgrade soon. Thanks for your info.

I always got told if someone can extract gerber file they can also extract cad file. If this is a customer I would put it back on them to get you the cad file.

These guys will do the first conversion free. I have no affiliation with them. http://www.gerberdata.com/ James

I have used Unicam's GerbCAM with limited success, it is very dependant on the quality of the customer's gerbers. You might want to see if this is what you're after.

KRIKIES! tenting WILL inhibit solder flow through the top-side me lad. In the meantime, me chap, have you tried to adjust wave parameters? i've read threads here that a vibrating wave will tend to push solder up through holes.

If the vias are large and don't always tent, you can have your pcb supplier double mask the pcb. I do this for COB assembly sometimes because the globtop wicks through the vias and also causes air bubbles in the globtop.

if you are not using them for test points or want them filled with solder for current carrying capability then tent them puppies. i was able to move our company away from exposed vias many years ago and this eliminated lots of hairline shorts between

Does anyone have a recomendation of the manufacturer and/or model number of an exhaust fan used with a Heller1707? I need to move 400CFM with an 8" vent and can't seem to locate a vendor.
