Look at CAM350 now from Downstream Technologies. They support most
flavors of gerber, and several neutral file formats for import, there is
also a direct link for PADS *.pcb files. The learning curve is not
overly steep for most of the modular add-ons like panelization, and
reverse engineering to CAD from CAM.

Subject: [TN] CAD panelizing
Dear colleagues,
we have implemented a documentation managing system, from Aegis, that
creates work instructions, key-cards, raw data for machine programming,
etc, etc. One issue is that the system, otherwise very professional and
fully loaded, is not so easy to work with when it comes to panelizing
the boards. Besides that, for various reasons, we would like to feed to
the system upfront panelized CAD files, instead of importing the single
design and panelizing it in Aegis.
The question is: is there any software out there that would read,
panelize and export output files from as many CAD platforms possible? I
am not expecting freebies, so any input would be appreciated.
I'm talking about raw information that is full PCB database in ASCII
format, coming from PADS, MENTOR, ALLEGRO... just name it.
Thanks for your help,
Ioan
