Importing Gerber Clip Art (GCA) file

You can import a Gerber Clip Art (GCA) file from one of the Gerber Library folders. To load
additional Gerber Libraries refer to the section "Installing Gerber Libraries."
When importing Gerber Clip Art (GCA) files using the File > Library or File > Import command
of Composer, the file imports as grouped shapes into the current Composer job. Use File >
Open to open GCA images that are ungrouped and place them in a new Composer job.
Tip: When desiring Special Effects you can access the Effects Library from the Import Library
dialog box. For more information on using the Effects Library refer to "Using Effects Library".
