I would evalauate: http://www.graphicode.com/GC-PowerPlace - Looks powerful, but also with a quite complex, confusing and messy interface. http://www.numericalinnovations.com/collections/fab-3000-gerber-cam. - Looks very promising, I found it quite nice to use but there were things missing, like parts that are not rotated in 90 degree increments. http://www.unisoft-cim.com/products.htm offers a whole raft of software options, I have played briefly with it but not recently, I encountered crashes, utterly baffling icons and a very very dated feeling interface (1995 all over again). However I think almost everything that should be there probably is.

I would try FAB 3000 for Advanced DFM checks, I believe since your post, many updates and bug fixes have been completed.

Or if you're not looking to spend so much $$, try DFM Now PRO.
