Hi everyone,
I've been trying to get the copper layout of a previously designed PCB imported into Altium's PCB editor. I've been following the procedure found at:
https://techdocs.altium.com/display/ADOH/CAM+Editor+Reverse+Engineering+PCBs
and have been able to import the files into Altium's CAMtastic CAM editor. I've set up the Layers just fine (I've even tried with just loading the top layer copper, which is all I really want and need). But when I try to execute Tools>>Netlist>>Extract, nothing happens. I don't see a .net file getting created and there is no information added in the Nets tab of the CAMtastic editor. I see nothing in the messages window or anywhere else. Most importantly, the File>>Export>>Export to PCB is still grayed out and unavailable to me so I can't send the design to the PCB Editor.
I'm uploading a zip file with the Altium project and CAM files.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
John S.
