Method 1: 1 Export Gerber files directly to DXF format: Note: You need to choose a lower version of DXF format. 1. Create a blank PCB and import it:
Method 2: 2 Create Gerber file 1 Perform a quick import action to import Gerber files and NC Drill files from each layer. In addition, to obtain the correct network name, IPC-D-2 files must also be imported together. 356. After importing all gears, proceed:
Confirm that the layer information of each layer is correct
And define NC cutting tools. Of course, if this information already exists under the original NC tool, there is no need to redefine it.
Extract network table: Then you can see the following information under Camtastic: If this Gerber contains IPC-D-356, then: Rename Nets has been enabled and will accurately name the networks in Gerber.
The final step is to execute the commands included in the software for exporting to PCB
You can obtain the final PCB file
How to use Altium Designer to decompile Gerber files to generate PCB graphics and text!
Gerber files can be converted to PCBs using Cam350, and now Altium Designer can also achieve reverse conversion of Gerber files to PCBs.
Create a new CAM file.
Open Altium designer 14.2 software, go to File - New - Cam File.
Import Gerber files. In the newly created CAM file, go to File Import Gerber and import Gerber files. Select the Gerber file you want to open, click Open, and select OK in the pop-up window.
Import NC drilling and network table files.
In the newly created CAM file, go to File Import Drilling and import the NC drilling file.
Tools - Network Table - Extract, extract the network of the imported Gerber file (treat the connected lines as the same network, randomly generate network names). If the netlist is not imported, PCB files cannot be generated.
File - Export - Export to PCB, export CAM file to PCB. If the network table is not generated in the previous step, PCB export cannot be achieved.
