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 supports both RS-274D Gerber and RS-274X Gerber formats. It can also be used to convert Gerber files to RS-274X Extended format. The new extended Gerber format contains embedded aperture information and using this format will minimize the risk for errors during the manufacturing of the PCB.

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. To check apertures, distances, and tools with the query and measure tools, you can use them.

GerbView lets you create workspaces that contain files from the supported file formats. The workspace can also be saved for future 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 are able to be burned-in, and can then become part of the Gerber layer. This feature makes it easy to add text and barcode images to layers.

GerbView is able to rasterize single files or entire workspaces. It can also save to any of the supported raster format.

You can print in scaled or 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.
