How do you get a Printed Circuit Board out of SW?

Hi all



I see lots of info on getting printed circuit boards INTO SW, I can'



find anything on getting them out.



One of our customers (our biggest, bestest, of course!) has asked u



to be able to produce PCBs for them from their Solidworks files. Al the converion methods I've reasearched and tested lack the ability t map data to specific layers. (example: converting a two sided printe circuit board, with traces on both sides, and a mechanical profile all converted data are placed on a single layer, with no way t identify (and more importantly seperate!) top and bottom circuits.)



The data will ultimately end up as gerber data, via DXF, if I can jus



get those pesky layers mapped



If someone could point me to a primer of some sort if it exists, I'



be very grateful



Thanks in advance for any replies


Sincerely


Bria
