So I have tried to turn the .dxf file into a gerber and found multiple converters, however most of the converters ethier mess up the drawing, or the shapes are not filled in.

For example, my drawing is a large square with several little squares filled in, on the inside. When I save it as a .dxf from solidworks, and use a converter to change it to gerber the file no longer has solid shapes, just the outline. Is there a better way to do this? Am I doing this wrong?

Thanks in advance
