Im working on some old gerber files (ca 2004). Everything is drawn as traces, this prevents me from "building parts" and creating a PNP file. Is there a way to group or convert these individual traces and form a pad?

Yes, the easiest is to use the command: Convert to Flash (Selective) menu: Tools | Convert to | Flash (Selective)...
Select all traces used to draw pads.
Run Convert To Flash (selective).
Repeat until all drawn pads are flashed.
Here's a quick video showing me convert those drawn pads to Flashes (optionally using Filter - which is not required),
Here's another example using Convert to Flash (Automatic), menu: Tools | Convert to | Flash (Automatic)...
