These are the extensions of the files: drl, fb, ipc, L1, L2, L3, L4, M1, M4, S1, S4.
What do I need to open these in Eagle?
Thanks for reading.

If they're Gerber files, you don't open them in Eagle. Gerbers are
manufacturing photoplotter data that you would normally export from
Eagle once your design is complete.
Try opening them in a Gerber viewer, such as gerbv or GC-Preview or even
There is no standard for file extensions for Gerber files but I'd guess
that Lx are the copper layers, Mx are the solder masks, Sx are the silk
screens, drl is probably an Excellon drill file.
Hi, !
First you need to preparing the settings for import into Eagle.
Attached you'll find the instruction.
Most problems are format of the values (Gerber 274x) and which aperture (Excellon xxx) you need.
Then import the drill file(s) first then also the Gerber files layer by layer.

Thank you so much. I didn't mention that the reason I wanted to open the files is that we need a slight modification. Most of the GC-Prevue products allow editing. This will work nicely.
Hi Gerald,
Thank you so much for these instructions. I despair of getting enough fidelity in a board this complicated, but your approach is perfect for another project that I am working on. Definitely saving these!
