I have identified the layers by the PDF appendix.įor Pastemask (GBP, GBT) and Silkscreen layers you should search for their Altium extensions.

I would like to transfer some design elements from these Gerber files into a design for reuse. Just opening the Gerber file using the Built in Altium CAMtastic viewer is not the complete answer for me. I stop after the first import since I just get a mess of tracks and pads. The way I've been trying to do the import of Gerber files into an Altium Designer PCB document is that I open a new PCB document and then I import one Gerber file at a time by choosing File->Import->Gerber File. I also tried to export new Gerber files from CAMtastic and then import them into an Altium Designer PCB document but I had no luck with that. I have also imported the Gerber files into CAMtastic (the built in Gerber viewer in Altium Designer) and the design looks like it is supposed to. I have opened the Mentor PADS PCB file into the free Mentor PADS viewer and the design looks like it is supposed to. The result is not right at all, there is just a mess of top layer copper. Therefore I tried to import the Gerber files into an Altium layout document. Altium designer can only import ASCII type Mentor PADS PCB files and I don't have access to conversion tools for converting from PADS binary format to PADS ASCII format. Since the Mentor PADS PCB file is of binary type I can't import it into an Altium Designer layout document. The ECAD system I'm using is Altium Designer 15.1.
The design files contains a Mentor Pads PCB file but also Gerber files.

The design containing this PCB spiral is a reference design from Linear Technologies and there are design files available for download here (clicking link will download a.

Has anyone here knowledge on how to import Gerber files into an Altium Designer layout? I would like to import Gerber files into an Altium Designer PCB document for re-using an in-PCB spiral inductor but the importer fails to interpret the Gerber files in a correct way.
