I do that quite often and find it good for the task. I generally have two PCB files in Protel. One is the board proper and the other is the empty Array with tooling holes, etc. I Gerber them both, step & repeat in Camtastic and then merge in the array outline. I then use the Camtastic fab drawing function and DXF export. A few tweeks of the dxf and a bit of cut & paste and it's done. I agree with Brad though, about merging different boards. What a pain. It would be really useful to be able to tell it to put everything with a specific filename extension onto a single layer. The other thing that doesn't transport across is which holes are plated and which aren't.
