FWIW, in my former day job, we did the same thing with the output from
PADS, except that I think PADS could output .dxf.  In any event, we
imported the drill layer in .dxf format from PADS into a mechanical
CAD package, and did the fab drawings there.

This seems to be SOP for board design.

But it does mean that .dxf output from PCB would be a good 
thing....     ;-)
