Thank you for using EasyGerb (AutoCAD to Gerber Conversion). EasyGerb is unique because it runs directly inside of AutoCAD and outputs gerber files faster than you can export a DXF file. Here's an online movie showing how to quickly load EasyGerb into AutoCAD, configure EasyGerb, and convert to Gerber. See Link:

(1) If you haven't done so already, download and Install EasyGerb.
(2) Loading EasyGerb Inside AutoCAD
Since EasyGerb is a plug-in for AutoCAD, so it must be loaded into the AutoCAD environment before it can be used. EasyGerb is installed into the folder (typically "C:\Numerical Innovations\EasyGerb\"). There is one EasyGerb ARX file for each version of AutoCAD. The EasyGerb file name indicates the release of AutoCAD that it has been designed for.
Please be sure to use the EasyGerb ARX file that corresponds to your version of AutoCAD.
EasyGerb2000.arx -> AutoCAD 2000
EasyGerb2002.arx -> AutoCAD 2002
EasyGerb2004.arx -> AutoCAD 2004
EasyGerb2005.arx -> AutoCAD 2005
EasyGerb2006.arx -> AutoCAD 2006
EasyGerb2007.arx -> AutoCAD 2007
EasyGerb2008.arx -> AutoCAD 2008
EasyGerb2009.arx -> AutoCAD 2009
EasyGerb2010.arx -> AutoCAD 2010
EasyGerb2011.arx -> AutoCAD 2011
EasyGerb2012.arx -> AutoCAD 2012
EasyGerb20XX.arx -> AutoCAD 20XX
EasyGerb2008_64.arx -> AutoCAD 2008 (64-bit)
EasyGerb2009_64.arx -> AutoCAD 2009 (64-bit)
EasyGerb2010_64.arx -> AutoCAD 2010 (64-bit)
