Hi Amol,
1. we do, does not necessarily mean we always get them. But if you insist hard enough, they normally come.
2. it's as easy as 1,2,3. Aegis should have given you their document explaining all the steps. Ask it from them.
3 and 4. No chance. Gerber is a dumb format, CAD an intelligent one. Unfortunately one cannot make intelligence simply by merging dumbness samples, I refrain from further comments.
Good luck,

Dear Technetters,
Hopefully this e-mail with get people going on technet again.
Some brief background before I ask questions. We use Aegis to write our process instructions and machine programs and it is infinitely easy working with CAD files (not to be confused with Autocad drawings) as compared to digitizing Gerber files. CAD files have to contain the Part Number, Package Information, Component Reference ID and location coordinates, along with the board outline. Gerbers are used for ordering wave pallets, stencils etc. So,
1. How many people specifically ask customers to provide CAD files along with Gerber.
2. What is involved in generation of CAD files (any special software, extra steps etc)
3. Are any of the board houses capable of providing CAD files if the customer only gives gerber files
4. What software can one use to generate CAD files if I have Gerber
Jack,
How come there was no mention of Tesla in your electricity piece? Very hilarious by the way!
Thanks!
Amol
