DWG to Gerber translation

Former Member

I need to do some Gerber exports of older board files that were originally

drawn in AutoCAD. If I recall properly, there was some ulp to import dwg or

dwf files into eagle (5.11). Would appreciate if anybody has a process for

this that will preserve layers.

    Can you export DXF? If yes, there are tools to convert this into

    EAGLE script format. Please look into the Download area, Converters

    and Tools.

    Thank you Richard

     

    Yes, I can get a dxf.

    I downloaded"import_dxf_polygons.ulp"

    Looks like it wants to import the entire dxf to one layer. Is there a better

    program that will import all layers of an autocad drawing into eagle while

    preserving layer information? ...or do I make separate dxf files with only

    one layer active at a time and then import each of these to a given layer

    with the import_dxf_polygons tool?
