Joel, Glad I could enlighten or warn. Plenty of users only find it out after their expectations are raised. The first one that I stumbled across was that it wouldn't even import some Protel Generated files that had been re-exported from their own Camtastic
2000DE after a couple of very minor edits. Some externally generated Gerbers may be formatted much closer than others to the precise format required.for Protel import. I have heard of a couple people having success with only edits to the initial Gerber configuration statements (approx. the first dozen lines). That wasn't the case in a couple of my attempted imports, the required edits grew exponentially as I tried to progress.
