Gerber software?
 

Anyone know of a decent, pretty basic, free or shareware software for creating Gerber files? Viewers abound, but creating them is the problem.

Alternatively, a converter from WMF, Postscript, or DXF files (or others) would be acceptable.

Note: I don't need a goober creator - I did pretty well with that myself. :)

I had a friend who was online who does some of that work, and asked him, he was not 100% sure but suggested

he was pretty sure it was capable of doing it.

Thanks, Mike.

Maybe I ought to just PM you directly when I have these questions. :)

I've used freePCB before, and its pretty good for a windows based PCB layout solution.

On the other end of the free spectrum is gEDA. gEDA is a complete Electronic Design Automation suite, which covers tasks from circuit design and simulation all the way through to board layout. Its free (GPL), and a great option for POSIX platforms (Mac OSX, Linux, Unix, etc.).

I've heard that gEDA's layout software, PCB, will run on Windows, but I haven't tried it. It will need to be compiled from source, and run with an X server.
