--001a11c04916c6af78055c79f119 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable The translate2geda utility can be used to turn a gerber file into a footprint, which may save you some work. It has to do some educated guessing about pads and pins which are usually represented as either flashed apertures or polygons. It will ignore some pins/pads it is unsure of, but that is what you get if forced to use a format lacking metadata like gerber to recreate a layout. The only eda software which generates awful gerbers for reverse engineering seems to be eagle, which draws all features as as raster of narrow lines. Cheers, Erich.
