Please see below as I have created a tutorial movie showing how to convert those files.  I have also included a download link so you may inspect the resulting Gerber & Drill files exported from ACE 3000.

Tutorial movie has two links:

Note:  ACE is very good and filling the AutoCAD solid hatch boundaries, unless there are "duplicate" entities.  This confuses ACE, so I show in the ACE editor how to resolve this issue.  If possible, for best results it is recommended in AutoCAD to first remove duplicate/overlapping objects before creating the Hatch.   ACE will then know exactly how to fill the job.


I have over 20 years experience converting DXF to Gerber, so please let me know if you have any questions or comments.  Thanks again, and we appreciate the opportunity for your business.

Best regards,
Simon
