Hi Fellers,

I have a design for an SMT board with very fine lines and spaces that
requires a film positive. The file is now in EPS format and needs to be
converted to Gerber code. Where can I find software to make this conversion,
PLEASE ?? Can one of you guys do it for me ??

Hi,


There is plenty of software to convert EPS to PS however there is very
little to convert PS to Gerber.

The above is a Perl script to convert PS to Gerber. It is free but you need
to be able to set up a Perl script. I can help if need be.

The above package has PS to Gerber. It is free for six days but I don't know
if the free period has the Gerber option. I costs $1000 - $2500.

That is al I could really find that may help, Rob.
