More information about the software
GerbView(tm), an advanced, but simple-to-use program, allows you to view, print, and convert Gerber (ODB++), Adobe PDF, Excellon and HPGL/2 formats.
GerbView is compatible with both RS-274D Gerber formats and can be used to convert older Gerber files into the new RS-274X extended format. The embedded aperture information in the extended Gerber format is useful for reducing errors during manufacturing.
With GerbView’s PDF to CAD capability you can convert your Adobe PDF files to Gerber or Autodesk DXF.
Gerbview will allow you to visualize your design in both hardcopy and on the screen. No longer do you need to wait to see your actual design on a prototype circuit board. Use the accurate measure and query tools to check apertures, tools, distances and more.
GerbView allows you to create a workspace which can include one or more of the supported file types. The workspace can be saved for later use. The saved workspace will link to your design files, so only need to reload the workspace file to see the whole design.
Markup elements like text, barcodes, arrows, lines, images, ellipses and polygons can be added to the workspace. All markup elements can easily be burned in and made part of a Gerber Layer. You can by using this feature easily add, for example, text or barcode images to a layer.
GerbView allows you to rasterize individual files or entire workspaces and save them to one of the supported formats.
You may print scaled or in real size. All Windows-based plotters, printers and scanners are supported. You can use poster mode (also called tiled page) to print large designs and drawings, such as on several smaller A4/Letter-sized pages.
