Camtastic from 99SE is what I'm using. Also the files are 274X. I'll check the origin reference and read the link you sent. Hope I can figure this out. Thanks!

With the older version of Camtastic, I think I remember that the software expected the kind of files generated by Protel. Although the article applies to importing Gerbers into the PCB editor, I believe the information in the following applied also to the older version of Camtastic: http://www.altium.com/protel/kb/kb_item.asp?ID=2215 In general, Protel software doesn't like to import files with negative coordinates. If your Gerbtool files have a center reference, there are negative coordinates in the generated files. You should relocate the reference point such that all data has positive (x,y) coordinates. What kind of Gerber file - RS274 or RS274X? If they are RS274 format, remember you will also have to load the apertures before loading the Gerber files.
