Lay file conversion

[JaredC79]

I have a pcb I have in a .lay file that I would like to submit to express pcb. It is the bpa300 with opamps instead of pots. How can I convert it to a netlist file to send to express pcb? I have kicad and eagle and the free viewer for lay files as well as LTspice but I don't think any will be any use. Can someone please point me in the correct location? Or does anyone have this in another format I can submit? Rather not have to redo the whole thing again

You need to provide Gerber and Excellon data for the PCB manufacture if the PCB is already laid out... A netlist is just a list of connectivity not much use on its own...

ok, how can i convert .lay files into gerbers or something useable for that need?

You need a full version of Sprint Layout to perform the export. I could do an export from Sprint for you if you can provide the file. PM if you are interested.

PM Sent. Do you like Sprint? What i don't like about Kicad is the libraries and adding components is somewhat of a hassle. I can get the shape in there and layout but can't change the values.
