However, the literature for Circad does not list his specified requirements
that the program be able to output in his needed formats. It did list a
useful capability of accepting other formats as input.

Gerber is the preferred output for board layout, but is of little value for
a schematic plot. Dxf, hpgl, jpg, and bmp are more useful for schematic
plots.
