Footprint from Gerbers using Camtastic?

Hi, Guys
A question:
How can I give Footprint from Gerbers using Camtastic?
I have a Gerber file and I want to find the component vai Gerber,
Is it possible?

I do not think that you can directly work with footprints in gerber files (unless you are working with more complex outputs e.g. ODB++).

However, there may be some methods how to import gerbers into PCB and then maybe create footprints from there. Here are some examples:
