Is there any free (as in speech) software that will convert gerber to .dxf?
Reason: I have access to a laser cutter through the TechShop and am
trying to work out a path to cut el-cheapo solder paste screens in
acetate sheet or similar material. I tried the path of creating a
PostScript check plot and running the .ps through pstoedit, which looks
promising, although I haven't tried to cut the resulting file yet.
But... seems like a direct path from the gerber would be better instead
of relying on the check plot and the inherent precision limitations of
PostScript. Or perhaps I underestimate the check plots?

I'm suprised the cutter doesn't take gerber directly, since that's the
standard for CNC machines.
