GERBER IMPORT DATASHEET FREE DOWNLOAD
A modest-sounding capability with nothing to be modest about. Importing Gerber data in eCADSTAR can get your PCBs to fabrication more quickly and reliably.

eCADSTAR GERBER IMPORT
Gerber data is still the de facto format for PCB fabrication. It describes artwork, including conductors, solder mask and drill data. PCB fabricators take it, tweak it, panelize with it and turn it into PCBs. It’s clear what will happen when you export Gerber from eCADSTAR, but what can you do when you import Gerber?
Some very useful things indeed. Things that save you lots of time and help you avoid errors.
TOP BENEFITS WHEN YOU IMPORT GERBER DATA
- Make sure what’s getting fabricated matches your intention.
- Re-use legacy PCB data, even if photo data is all you’ve got.
- Use reference design data from any source that supports Gerber.
- Transform photo data into real, editable eCADSTAR PCB data.
CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
Torje N. Thorsen – Electronics Engineer, Tide Electronics 
“A great feature! This somewhat unconventional workflow can actually be particularly useful for “getting the job done” in certain cases. In the past, this approach has allowed me to save huge amounts of time by rescuing legacy fab files. Development projects are not always as linear as you could wish for. Sometimes it feels more like “design archaeology”.
