EasyGerb: The Easiest Gerber Export for AutoCAD Users ™

for AutoCAD versions (2013-2022)

TUTORIAL: Load EasyGerb into AutoCAD, configure, and convert to Gerber.

EasyGerb allows you to export Gerber files directly from AutoCAD - Simply select any objects and begin creating Gerber files - instantly! This tool is by far the easiest-to-use Gerber conversion solution for any AutoCAD user and converts from AutoCAD to Gerber in the time it takes to make a DXF file!
Start & Configure EasyGerb, Load EasyGerb inside AutoCAD using the command "appload". Once EasyGerb starts, you will see the main screen (see right). Simply check the layers you want to convert, and configure any other options you require. Press button "OK" to select entities for gerber conversion.

Select Entities..., Since EasyGerb runs inside AutoCAD, you can use all the powerful selection tools that already exist, to choose the entities you want to convert to gerber.

Note: If your drawing contains title blocks, reference lines, or other non-essential conversion objects, you do not need to select them. Only EasyGerb lets you selectively choose what entities you want to convert; avoiding excess data & processing time.

The Gerber Conversion is Done!, When EasyGerb has finished the conversion a report dialog displays the count of entities converted, location of the gerber files, and any warnings. You can now instantly view the converted gerber files by clicking on the button 'View Gerbers with FAB 3000'. If you wish to use another gerber viewer program, simply start that program and load the gerber files.

After viewing the gerber files, you can now send them directly to your photo-plotter or board shop. Note: If you perform more than 1-2 conversions per year, we strongly recommend that you purchase the EasyGerb + FAB 3000 Bundle. This will allow you to seamlessly convert, view, edit, and run DRC/DFM checks on your gerber files.

 AutoCAD Users (2023+): EasyGerb replaced with ACE Translator 3000

For AutoCAD 2023+ users, ACE Translator 3000 will produce similar results as EasyGerb.  ACE will import any AutoCAD DWG or DXF file and export to Gerber (just like EasyGerb). The interface for ACE is also very similar to EasyGerb and ACE can even import the EasyGerb settings file (*.egs), making the transition from EasyGerb simple. 

Here's a quick tutorial demonstrating using ACE Translator 3000 with an EasyGerb Settings file (*.egs). 

Benefits of ACE compared to EasyGerb:

  • ACE is compatible with "every CAD" tool worldwide since ACE can import "any" DXF and DWG files. EasyGerb only runs inside the Full-Featured AutoCAD version which is quite expensive (thousands $$ every year).
  • ACE Includes over 150 Translators!  EasyGerb on has only "1" translator (Export Gerber).
  • ACE Includes a built-in viewer and Gerber editor.  Allowing you to instantly view your conversion results, and perform any editing beforehand if needed.  EasyGerb does not have any Gerber viewer capabilities.
  • ACE can convert AutoCAD Solid Hatches.  EasyGerb cannot process hatches.
  • ACE can perform powerful features during DXF/DWG import: such as Join (adjacent lines/arcs) to form closed boundaries.  EasyGerb does not have any Join Features.
  • ACE can perform Polygon De-Embedding (automatically determine what is dark or clear). EasyGerb does not have De-Embedding.

Note: The only difference between ACE and EasyGerb is that you import the AutoCAD DWG or DXF file (as demonstrated in the tutorial).   Here's our AutoCAD Conversions guidelines >>
