Please be careful when using the CAM350 Gerber to DXF or DXF to Gerber
translator.  I've found some bugs and made ACT aware of them.  They plan
to release another version probably later this month.

	Hello Gary !


	Which operating system do you have ? I have just tried  CAMCAD
350 and it
	works fine, at least with  Win 3.11 and NT
	Which program is using DXF- format ? I use Autocad Lite to read
dxf and I
	have`t had  any problems so far. You see, there are many
versions
	of dxf-format,  so it´s not sure if this one works in your
application.
	In shareware version ( http://www.ecam.com ) there is no dxf
interface (
	Win 3.11, 16 bit version ), but you can get it for trial for 2
weeks.You
	must :
	     1) Download the program ....exe from ecam.com
	     2) Extract and install
	     3)Start program
	     4)Open file->setup
	     5)Write down time code and send it to [log in to unmask] by
email,
	asking corresponding
	        access code.  DO NOT CLOSE THE WINDOW ! Every time you
open the
	setup window,
	        timed code will change->access code.
	This may sound complicated, but with this arrangement you will
have a
	chance to try out dxf converter
	in your application.

	Good luck !
