  • System for recreating a printed circuit board from disjointly formatted data
    Patent number: 5781447
    Abstract: A system and method of recreating a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) in electronic form from disjointly formatted data. A graphical representation of the PCB is displayed as derived from electronically formatted Gerber files wherein component mounting locations are electronically selected and component identification data is merged from a non-electronically formatted bill of materials into a database for associating the component identification data with the Gerber files PCB data. This system overcomes the previously tedious, manual and error-prone process of recreating a PCB from such disjointly formatted data.
