You are lu ky to get conversion foat to 274x from 274d? . Once you make 274x? gerber files most pcb houses turnout your job. All.the best.?

Any software that would convert from EasyTrax to another format would also be long gone by now and would have only converted to an old version of some other format, leaving you in the same position! You might try exporting to an image format and then using an image to Gerber. If you do, be sure to check your board for proper dimensions?and placement. Sometimes errors crop into the image conversion and a few adjustments may be needed.

Hi all,
I've been making my own PCBs for many years using the old Protel freeware Easytrax and/or Autotrax running under DOSBox. My versions don't have the Gerber drivers which I have never needed.They have served me well but now a situation has come up where I need to make several copies of one of my old designs. I could do it myself but it would be much easier to have the boards made commercially. They are simple single sided with no fancy features.
Does anyone know of a PCB manufacturer who can work with the old PCB files? Or if not, is there any software that converts Easytrax or Autotrax .pcb files to a more modern format? I'm in Melbourne, Australia.
Thanks,
Morris

If you ask me if it can be done. The answer is YES, it can always be done. The correct questions however are... What will it cost, and how long will it take?
