If you are having trouble finding the right type of CAD file to import into the Unisoft software then the table below lists PC Board CAD, Gerber and mechanical CAD file formats that maybe imported into the Unisoft software. If the file contains "PCB pin x-y" data then usually with the Unisoft software this will be sufficient data to program your Assembly, AOI inspection and selective Soldering equipment and also create process assembly sheets, kitting labels, costing reports, do first article and general inspection.

In general look for at a minimum "PCB pin x-y" in the field "Contains this type of data".
