Ken:

Cam350 allows you to modify any aspect of your gerber artwork.  Simply import the gerber for the
layer you want to change and delete the old text and EDIT/ADD/TEXT for the new note.  For
consistency, take note of the aperture and text height of the old note before you delete it,
because you'll have to enter this info manually with the new text.  To finish, simply export the
new gerber file.

I've looked at the Lavenir Demo Disk everyone got in PCD a month or two back and IMHO, it is not
as friendly a package as CAM350.  These CAM tools only modify your artwork, not the layout and
route database (i.e.: .pcb file in PADS).
