Hi Everyone, I have an interesting question (which I will be posting on a couple of forums so some of you may see this more than once).... If all I have is gerbers can I make a placement file from them? I don't need a netlist just x - y coordinates... If anyone has been in the position to have tried this it is probably one of you....as I have heard tales of some pretty amazing workarounds just reading the posts here I have high hopes. :-) Thanks in advance, Dharma KAW/USA Ltd. 39 Simon Street, #4 Nashua, NH 03060 603-886-8711 x212 603-881-8763 fax Confidentiality Notice: This email and any accompanying documents contain information that is confidential, privileged or exempt from disclosure under applicable law and is intended for the exclusive use of the addressee.
