Greetings,

Union Switch & Signal  is a company that is well over 100 years old. 
Printed circuit boards have
been designed here since the late 1960's so you can imagine how many 
"non-cad" designs we have !

My questions are :

Do any of you have experience with scanning "non-cad" designs ?
If so, do you have the design translated into Gerber data and then imported
into a CAD system ? Are there any other options or methods ?
What services, software etc. did you use ? 

Union Switch will hopefully be upgrading to the latest ACCEL product soon. 
I understand that ACCEL EDA has
a "Gerber in" utility. Have any of you used this and how successful was the 
transfer ?

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance ......
