I'm trying to do modifications to traces on a customer design and the only files I can get is the ODB++ manufacturing files (NOT Gerber!).

Does anyone know the best way to import the layer files into Easy-PC (as tracks or shapes) or if there is a free tool (viewer or converter) will read ODB++ and convert to Gerbers.

On a side note, does anyone have a copy of the ODB++ spec or can point me towards one so I write my own tool ?

Thanks for the suggestion edrees,

Looks like the free version will let me view (validate trace widths?, etc) and check ODB++, but I might have to get the Deluxe version though to do the full export ODB++ as Gerbers. Cheers!
