Jens, You need to find a scanning service. We use one in California that does a great job. They scan our customer's film and give us back gerber and a drill file. We can then have the CAM engineers do some "clean up" on it (comparing to the film copies) and send out plots for approval. Once the customer has approved, it can be released to fabrication. The only negative is that the gerber data is unintelligent and as far as I know, can not be reloaded into a CAD software program. Hope that helps. Anne Ledger EMDS, Inc.
