About the software
GerbView(tm), a powerful but intuitive application, allows you view, print, convert, and export Gerber, ODB++. It also supports Excellon, HPGL/2, Adobe PDF, Excellon, Excellon, and Adobe PDF.
GerbView can convert Gerber files between RS-274D Gerber formats as well as older Gerber format files to the new RS-274X extended format. This format has embedded aperture information, which will reduce the chance of errors in the manufacture of the PCB.
GerbView’s ability to convert PDF files from Adobe to CAD allows you to convert them to Gerber DXF or Autodesk DXF.
Gerbview will allow you to visualize your design in both hardcopy and on the screen. The prototype circuit board is no longer necessary to visualize your design. Use the query tools and precise measurement tools to measure apertures, tools and distances.
GerbView allows you use a workspace that can contain any of the supported formats. You can save the workspace for later use. The workspace saved will link to your design files. To see the entire design, you only need to reload it.
To the workspace, you can add markup elements like text and barcodes to arrows. Lines, images, ellipses or polygons can also be added. All markup can be burned-in to become part a Gerber layer. This feature allows you to easily add text or barcode images directly to a layer.
GerbView can rasterize single files, or whole workspaces, and save to one of the supported raster formats.
Print scaled or in full size. All Windows based plotters and printers are supported. Poster mode, also known by tiled pages, allows you to print large designs, drawings and illustrations on a number of smaller A4/Letter pages.
