How to convent the .PCB Protel designer files into gerber file.

Operation steps

1.Open your .PCB design files on Protel software, check the integrity of the files. Here used an example .PCB file as an example.

Protel Pcb Viewer Software Source Viewer v.1 Source Viewer is a php coded web page allowing you to display the html and php source code of files on your server directly in a browser. Protel 99 SE is done directly in the PCB document window at the touch of a single button – no need to fiddle with separate router files. With Protel 99 SE you can compile a circuit for implementation in a programmable logic device directly from the schematic, producing an industry-standard JEDEC device programming file in a single action. Protel Autotrax - low cost PCB CAD. Autotrax is a freeware PCB CAD package written by Protel in the early 1990's (See image, right). Autotrax is capable of producing 6-8 layer boards (see image below) and reasonably fine geometries. The file format is simple - which has resulted in many engineers open. Export Gerber RS274x file. Printing support. Can do the following things on a Protel ASCII PCB file: Adjust pad size. Open a hole on a pad. Adjust line width (x and y directions). Set minimum line width.

2.Find the menu 'File', select to 'New' option. Then left-click it.

3.The 'New Document' page will be occur. In 'New Document' page we suggest to select following option. We used purple arrows to marked it.

Selecting the default options.

Then the final page will appear, left click the 'Finish' option.

Except of drill file, all the gerber files are finished.

4.Right click the cam page blank area then left click Insert NC Drill.

The NC Drill setup page will appear, we suggest to choose Supress leading zero option.

Pressing F9, all the cam files are export.

Open Protel Pcb Files

Hi
Has anyone tried the Protel to KiCAD conversion tools recently? How well do they working importing a schematic and/or PCB layout?
There is a sourceforge page which I think is related
http://pcad2kicad.sourceforge.net/
I am asking because there is a legacy PCB project trapped in the Protel format and I am wondering what options are available to convert to a free/open solution or if it is lost to proprietary obscurity.
Thanks!
Andrew Lynch
