Here's a few software options.  Both companies offer gerber + BOM to CAD
(assembly data) conversion as a service as well.

Subject: [TN] Gerber and CAD

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
