Does anyone know of an effective and reasonably priced software program to
convert Gerber and drill files to DXF?
Thanks for any shove in the right direction,

I use Easy PC, which is capable of outputting DXF and which has an add-on
module that can import Gerber.

If you are planning to buy Easy-PC I still have the latest version for
sale. I had it for sale at Ebay for several weeks but no one wanted
it.
Here's a link to the old auction site.... I'm still trying to sell it.
