did you ask the fabricator whether or not they could export their gerber file as a '.dxf' before they sent it to you?

Subject: [TN] Gerber to AutoCAD converter


Good morning everyone, 

 

Does anybody out there know if it is possible to import Gerber files
into AutoCAD?  I only need to update 2-3 drawings so costly options are
going to be frowned upon.  We use so few PCB's that all of our drawings
consist of copies of the screen print inserted into AutoCAD.  Our board
house has been sending me the Gerber files of the boards after we send
them the screen and they have it converted to Gerber.  Now I want to get
away from scanning printouts and inserting pictures into AutoCAD.

 

Thanks in advance!
