Re: [kicad-users] Scanning PCB's into Kicad possible ?

2009-12-02 Thread Robert
Have you tried raoulduke's script 
(http://www.mail-archive.com/kicad-users@yahoogroups.com/msg05013.html)? 
   If you work your way through the thread he tells you how to get an 
image file (in the form of a PBM) into any layer.   It'll take a lot of 
messing about and you may not get you usable Gerbers, but I guess it's 
worth a try.

Regards,

Robert.

 I have some old designs from 30+yrs ago which I like to bring back to life.

read this file (jpeg?) in order to create a gerber file output to make
