 | Mahadevan M S A Gerber file contains a 'flattened' version of your PCB layout for manufacturing purposes. While the geometry should be identical, all of the design intent is completely lost. From a Gerber, it's no longer really possible to determine the difference between a trace, a pour, or a pad. Worse, Gerbers also don't contain any pertinent information about parts or footprints; all they contain are layer outlines and drill holes. So while it's theoretically possible for us to implement a 'Gerber import' process, it wouldn't be very helpful to anyone trying to do engineering. |
