gEDA-user: Is there some kind of gerber to pcb tool?

2009-12-30 Thread Anthony Shanks
I just screwed up big time and accidently overwrote a completeled layout that took about 2 weeks to finish. I had absolutely no backup of it. It's completely gone. I do have a gerber export of it. Is there a tool to convert this back into pcb? I really have no interest in redoing this. I really

When I had to do that, I put the gerber layer as assembly layer on PCB and traced it over. No, you won't be able to 'directly' import it. No idea if you can do this in pcb or not either, I've not used it. On Wed, Dec 30, 2009 at 8:27 PM, Anthony Shanks yamazak...@gmail.com wrote: I just screwed

I can't say that there isn't a converter from gerber to pcb, but I understand that gerber files simply tell the CAM system where to deposit copper, drill holes, etc - that means that quite a bit of information that the layout tool (PCB) uses would be lost, even if you could convert the data back

No backup or autosave or anything. Yes dumb move on my part and I am now paying the price for it. Now that I slept on it (and trust me I had a HARD time sleeping), I'm just going to redo the layout. I don't think I'll take me two weeks this time because part of it was the floor planning and

Mark, how doy you call the python script? You gave some nice screen shots of the results, but my quick look through the code I did not see an example of how to call it. Does it only do 45 degree rotations, or is one of the arguments the rotation angle? Also, will this work
