Hi all, I'm new in this forum Smile

I need to import a GERBER file (a PCB drawing) into a CAD (I normally use Freecad ad home and Solidworks at work, but I could use Autocad too).
I'd like to import it as a 2D sketch to be extruded later (eg.: 1mm., just to say)

I tried different file formats but very often I obtained just splines, without the related tracks, vias and filled areas.
I need to import a full design of PCBs, with the original drawing perfectly reproduced.

I tried with GERBER, PDF and DXF formats (as output of Kicad) but I was never able to obtain good results. Maybe I'm not following the correct procedure

Has anyone already tried to do this?

thanks 
Regards
Roberto
