The software
GerbView(tm) is an advanced but easy-to-use application that enables you to view, print and convert Gerber, ODB++, Adobe PDF, Excellon, HPGL/2 and other formats.
GerbView supports both RS-274D and RS-274X Gerber formats, and you can use it to convert your older Gerber 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.
With GerbView’s PDF to CAD capability you can convert your Adobe PDF files to Gerber or Autodesk DXF.
Gerbview allows you to visualize the design on the computer or in printed copy. Your true design is now available online. You can check distances, tools, apertures, and other details using the exact measure and query tools.
GerbView lets you create workspaces that contain files from the supported file formats. The workspace can also be saved for future use. The workspace can be saved to link to your design file. You will only need to reload workspace file to view the entire design.
Markup elements like text, barcodes, arrows, lines, images, ellipses and polygons can be added to the workspace. 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 is able to rasterize single files or entire workspaces. It can also save to any of the supported raster format.
You may print scaled or in real size. All Windows-based plotters/printers are supported. Poster mode, also known as tiled pages, can be used to print large designs and drawings on for example several smaller A4/Letter pages.
