The CAM350 product has some capabilities to do reverse engineering from Gerber files. They can produce data files for several different types of CAD software. This may prove more useful to you in getting out from under your legacy problem. The vendor for CAM350 is Advanced CAM Technologies in sunny California, though they have been purchased by PADS who in turn was purchased by Innoveda. Hard to keep track of who's who anymore. If this is a one-time thing and you don't want to buy/learn new software, there are service bureaus that can do the reverse engineering for you from the Gerbers.
