Hi, sorry for the delay. I went out for job.My pcb is an expansion board for Raspberry Pi. It is not so complicated, it hasn’t got microcontrollers for example.Am I wrong or there is someone that can port the project into kicad using gerbers or the .pcb PowerLogic project file?
Using Gerbers is possible, but has caveats,
GerbView export_to_pcbnew works quite well, but makes some poor decisions and actually drops information.
Bugs / bad decisions :
In export_to_pcbnew.cpp line 426, it does
int width = (aGbrItem->m_Size.x + aGbrItem->m_Size.y) / 2;
a) That...
so you can see some of the manual cleanups that will be required.
You could use Gerbers and a netlist (that needs manual LibraryP to LibraryK name mapping)

I haven’t tried, but this may help to convert gerber to a pcb
