The DXF input file has just numbers without units. After loading the DXF file, you have to tell Gerberwizard the units that you used. It seems that you have specified the wrong units.

Thanks to Manjunatha_hv,

Here's the uploaded file.

After downloading, unpack the data to a local directory. Install the translator by executing the file "SETUP.EXE" in the directory to which you unpacked the download.

Unfortunately, the setup program is not compatible with some new Windows versions.

Re: DXf Files to Gerber

The program should install and run on Windows XP 32bit. I am pretty sure about that because I'm the programmer.
What exactly is the installation problem that you see?
