Hi Randy,

Are you generating RS-274X or RS-274D files? the newer 'X' will not
have a separate aperture file. Both are available in Eagle. If you
NEED a separate aperture file (wheel file), I suspect you'll need to
select the 'D'.

I have tried a few different conversion types such as GerberRS-274x and HPGL but have remained unsuccessful in importing them. I have attempted the same thing in PROTEL and it works perfectly but not in eagle. (the reason I am using eagle is because this is a single sided board) When I look in protels cam directory I see 6 independent "gerber, aperature, etc..." files as opposed to the 2 files eagle is generating. I also fail to see an aperature file in eagle which GERBTOOL AND CAMTASTIC are specifically asking for. I think the problem lies in the fact that eagle is not generating an aperature file therefore I am unable to load them. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
