Can i generate Gerber files from Solidworks?

Can i generate Gerber files from Solidworks?

(OP)
I've designed a PCB trace in solidworks that i'd like to export to gerber files to build a PCB. Is that possible?
Any suggestions?

Thanks,

 

RE: Can i generate Gerber files from Solidworks?

Nope.
You need a proper PCB design program to output gerbers. There are many free/cheap ones out there like Eagle or Diptrace.

Got a picture of this layout?  Something may be possible.

thanks. converted to .dxf then gerber.

Proto,

So what did you use for the DXF to Gerber conversion?  I've only found LinkCAD so far.  It is a very nice tool but a bit pricy.  

Thanks,
