Graphicode's GCPlace is a good tool for making intelligent designs out of
dumb Gerber files.  Yes, it will locate and create parts at lightening
speed, but you still must visit visually, to ensure each part created
automagically is indeed the part you want.  Sometimes the locator/creator
assembles the wrong pads into parts.  The software does make it much easier
to generate components out of Gerber files.  I have done 1400 component
board in less than two days.  Hope you have a much simpler problem.

GC-Place from Graphicode can do this.
Try http://www.graphicode.com  and contact them about it.

I am pushing my company to get this as all my step & repeated data is
already in the
same file format used by GC-Place.

The blurb says that it scans the data and finds part centroids at upto
900 per minute.

If any Technetters use this already I would appreciate some comments on
it.

TIA - Matthew Lamkin
