Jeff,
Why do you need to convert a circuit diagram to Gerber? (If I understand your post correctly).
Gerber is usually used to transfer the PCB layout to the production tools of the board supplier.
Pete
To create Gerbers you generaly use PCB layout software. Could you show part of thes\zdrawing you want to convert, is it a circuit diagram or a layout?
Linkcad http://www.linkcad.com/site/download would seem to convert Gerber to DXF.
Its not free but the evaluation runs for 5 days, which may be all you need it for.
Artwork Conversion has a Solidworks to Gerber translator
