How can I import a gerber layout for my solderscreen in Eagle PCB

How can I import a gerber layout for my solderscreen in Eagle PCB,

I have a reade made format file with the extension .ger and one with .gbx for my drill holes to uses for my LPKF Protomat screen printer, I want to input the screen to join it with my PCB output files , so I can let make the PCB and the screen. Someone has an Idee!

Hi Paul,

Use gerb274x6.zip which is available from www.cadsoftusa.com-> Download
-> Tools and converters.

Its a windows only executable but it does a pretty good job.

Thanx Jorge , I downloaded, unzipped,the file, all oke ...but when I run this program it says that it is the wrong windows version
My wndows version is W7-64 bits and ........furthermore the text says:

gbr274x6.zip
Erzeugt aus einer Gerber274X-Datei ein Eagle-Script um Gerber-Daten in Eagle 4.0/4.1 einzulesen. Generates an EAGLE script file from Gerber274X data to import in EAGLE 4.0/4.1.

I'm now using Eagle 6.30

any new Idea?

You can download this Elecrow CAM file, then unzip it and add it to your eagle CAM folder.
OPEN your eagle files，Right Click the CAM, choose the CAM files you downloaded, right click the processing button. that is all you need to do to get the gerber files
then you can zip it and send it to the PCB service company.
