Can't you import gerber files using CAM350? Friends who have just learned the CAM350 software may not know it yet. Today I will explain the steps of how to import gerber files into CAM350. I believe that through learning, you will be able to operate it with ease in the future.
Download the CAM350 software. After installation, double-click the desktop shortcut to start the software.
Import geber files.
File - I Import - U Auto Import, open the automatic import window. Find the geber file. You can find the geber file in the right window.
After selecting, click Next to see the list of automatically imported geber files.
After clicking Finish, the geber file starts to be imported. After the import is completed, the PCB layout can be seen in the main interface window.
In the CAM350 software, as shown in the figure, you can view each layer of the circuit board, and double-click to switch to the specified layer.
Attached is the representation of each layer of the Gerber file.
GTL---toplayer top layer
