I am trying to import Gerber files into Proteus program.(http://www.labcenter.com/index.cfm)

As this program doesn't read other program Gerber files, I was trying to convert from Gerber to DXF and import this way. But DXF comes in as thin lines and circles so require a lot of re-work.

Thanks so much for your feedback. By default ACE will output a DXF with outlines. However ACE comes with several options that you may use during DXF Export to adjust your result. I suspect your program Proteus would prefer that traces be outputted as Wide Polylines. See below for a screen capture showing how I might adjust the DXF Export settings:

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me and I'm sure you'll get the results you want.

Best regards,
Simon
