Hi, I need to produce a small application that can examine the contents of a board outline gerber file produced by PCBNEW. The application needs to read the gerber file and extract the X and Y co-ordinates and spit out the actual board size. Is it possible to extract a board size from the following Gerber file syntax for example?
G04 (created by PCBNEW-RS274X (2011-07-08 BZR 3044)-stable) date 01/11/2011 11:39:11* G01* G70* G90* %MOIN*% G04 Gerber Fmt 3.4, Leading zero omitted, Abs format* %FSLAX34Y34*% G04 APERTURE LIST* %ADD10C,0.006000*% %ADD11C,0.015000*% G04 APERTURE END LIST* G54D10* G54D11* X46170Y-34610D02* X46170Y-22790D01* X63890Y-34610D02* X46170Y-34610D01* X63890Y-22790D02* X63890Y-34610D01* X46170Y-22790D02* X63890Y-22790D01* M02* Which lines describe the actual top-left,top-right, bottom-left and bottom-right X and Y co-ordinates. All I need to end up with is a set of numbers from which I can calculate the actual length and width of a PCB (in inches (MILS) or mm). Can someone point me in the right direction? I would be very grateful for any assistance offered.Thanks. David.
