.G12 File

The g12 file extension is associated with the CAMtastic application developed by Innovative CAD Software, Inc. The CAMtastic G12 file contains gerber data.

Gerber data are used by printed circuit board manufacturing machines to layout electrical connections such as traces, vias, and pads (the component footprints on the PCB). In addition, the file contains information for drilling, and milling the completed circuit board.

How to open:

Use Altium Designer to open the CAMtastic Mid Layer 12 gerber data files.

How to convert:

As far as we know, this .g12 file type can't be converted to any other file format. This is usually the case of system, configuration, temporary, or data files containing data exclusive to only one software and used for its own purposes. Also some proprietary or closed file formats cannot be converted to more common file types in order to protect the intellectual property of the developer, which is for example the case of some DRM-protected multimedia files.
