GERBERS to Footprint

[Naib]

ok sorted…
so

1. Load GERBERS in the gerberviewer and export all the key layers to PCBnew

2. open in PCBnew and clean up any remnant - for me the GERBER have boardoutline on all layers so there were rogue tracks

3. reposition around the origin by simply taking the average max-y,miny… max-x,minx

4. export outline as DXF

5. start footprint and load the DXF onto the silk and fab layer

6. for each hole in PCBnew, not the xy and place a PTH at the same location

7. add courtyard and save

As an added bonus, due to this footprint existing and the GERBER PCB, a bit of messing around and a freecad model was created, including the pin headers

thanks all
