I'm working on designing a front-end data acquisition board for signal analysis, and have completed the schematic in LT SPICE. Now I want to import the schematic design into Altium Designer 18 in order to create the layout and gerber files for manufacturing, but I'm having trouble doing so. From that I've figured out so far, such things are normally done inside of the import wizard, but there's no option for LT SPICE files, and certainly none for .asc anyway, which is the file type LT SPICE outputs. This is especially confusing as Altium owns SPICE. Can anyone help me?

Just draw it again in Altium, with the real parts and database that will generate your BOM. There is no way to import much of value and it wouldn't save you much, if any, time anyway.
Then you will need to make sure you can find or create footprints for each part, and do the PCB layout in Altium.
Finally, you can generate the Gerber (and NC drill) files from the layout, from within Altium.
