I have been chasing my tail a bit trying to convert a Gerber file, *.grb to a *.dxf. There are plenty of free viewers and converters that go the other way. I am looking for a freeware solution that does not preclude commercial use.
An old thread here was helpful. Skywalker started the discussion: h**p://https://www.edaboard.com/threads/890/ There are a number of other related threads as well.
Sourceforge provided a link to Gerbv 2.6.0 ( h**p://gerbv.gpleda.org ) and ( h**p://gerbv.sourceforge.net/ )
Gerbv provides a somewhat painful way to extract the parameters of a layout using the measure tool.
Has anyone found a more convenient solution? Ideally, I would like to do an import and direct conversion followed by an export in *.dxf, without needing to manually redraw the traces.
Regards,
Azulykit
