Ian,
Sorry I didn't see your message sooner, you have probably come up with a solution by now.
Some years ago I wrote a shareware program that would convert files output in AutoCAD HPGL
(Hewlett Packard Pen Plotter) format to Gerber. It works very well for legend and panel art but It's only
good for very small PCB's because PCB artwork saved out in HPGL format can produce huge files.
The good thing about it is that it's pretty fool proof & it's free. Even the best AutoCAD to Gerber
conversion programs such as Camtastic, CAM 350, Gerbtool etc. can leave things out or convert things
incorrectly. (trust me I know, I do that for a living!) Anyway, if you still need it you are welcome to
download my program at: http://www.everythingpcb.com/p2389.htm
Best regards,
Danny Carr
