I have Autocad > that I have been working on the prototype boards Hi Carl, Using Autocad limits your choice of board houses - some will accept your files, some will have a surcharge, many just simply won't do it. The software packages that can convert DXF to Gerber for you are likely to be very expensive. You might find a free or open source tool, but a quick googling turns up conversion in the opposite direction. There may be some other Autocad users on the list that have experience with what you want to do, but popular opinion will probably be that PCB tools are good at what they do, so most people use them rather than Autocad for PC boards.
