Ted, try using.......PROTEL 2.8(if you have it).... I know this is a "backward step" but we have found that nearly most other CAD/CAM generated gerbers will be able to be read into PROTEL 2.8 (this is so robust and uncaring).....just watch out for the resolution ie gerber format that the files were generated in and the setup in P2.8 for the gerber import. You will also need to remove the CAMTASTIC header as discussed a couple of days ago inthis forum. Hope this helps regards Leon Fonstin

I have no problems getting the files to generate, but there is a lot of information missing. The text is not complete and there are missing tracks. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. I have tried everything I could think of. Changing the export to metric, using arc's, convert polygons to vector fills, type absolute and incremental, and zero suppression. Is there some thing I am missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Ted Tontis C.I.D. Engage Networks 316 N.
