CAM350 has the best.

Artwork Conversion has a good one.

We've been using ExcelCAM, available here (http://members.rediff.com/exceleda/). It has most (if not all) of the functionality of CAM350 with a much better price.

ExcelCam is now free - but, you have to download a new license every month - it contains advertising that appears in the bottom left hand corner when you open it - not real obtrusive but kind of irritating.

Skip,

We've been using ExcelCAM for at least six-months without having to download a new license.

Have they changed the policy? - I'm using an older version that I paid for, but I did try the newer free version and after a month the program opened fine, but when you tried to load gerbers it gave the message that the license had expired and shut down.

I just checked the license and it's set to expire at the end of the month. Still, we've been using since March. I know that when I downloaded it the website claimed a one month limit on each license but it never stopped working so I just forgot about it. Looks like I'll have to get a new one soon.
