My workflow for this was orcad -> gerber files -> gerbv -> postscript (ps) -> pstoedit -> pcb I put it on a layer and then traced some needed features into the layer I actually wanted. If I had it to do over again I would probably have tried the tools for converting orcad but I just needed a few simple features. > Mitch. -- Home http://evanfoss.googlepages.com/ Work http://forge.abcd.harvard.edu/gf/project/epl_engineering/wiki/
