In Kicad the File->Plot menu supports Postscript, Gerber, SVG, HPGL and DXF.
No need for a converter. I should have checked before posting my
previous question.

Hi Don,
KiCad can also print to Postscript. I googled PS to DXF and found
many utilities that convert, including some that convert from Gerber.
I don't know any of them. I suppose many are "paid".
I use Autocad to rebuild old schematics. By loading an image, I can
"trace over" the picture.
It might be OT, but I would love to hear more about CNC's etc. You
are right, there are just way too many cool toys :)
Cheers,
Josh

Frank,
I don't have a dxf drawing. I just got a copy of Autodesk and am
learning sheet metal fab.
Eventually I should be able to cook something up. Wondering if there
are any utilities that
can convert any of the Kicad outputs (gerber) to a dxf.
You have a CNC mill? Cool. I bought a Grizzly G704 mill last year.
Added DRO but really want to
put a CNC kit on it. Using the mill primarily for some 80% projects on
AR and 1911 goodies ;^)
I did use the mill on some of my chassis parts. With the DRO the
placement of my holes were
perfect. Yea I know too many hobbies and cool things to play with.

Is there a dxf drawing of the "switch alignment tool"?
I make some equal to that on my CNC-Router for mounting the
switches on my IMSAI 8080 Front Panel.
