About software
GerbViewTM is an advanced yet simple-to use application that allows you to view/print and convert Gerber and ODB++ files, as well as Adobe PDF, Excellon or HPGL/2.
GerbView supports both RS-274D Gerber formats. You can also use it to convert Gerber files from older formats to the new RS-274X extended format. This extended Gerber format features embedded aperture information. This format reduces the possibility of making mistakes during manufacturing.
GerbView has a PDF toCAD capability that allows you to convert Adobe PDF files in Gerber or Autodesk to DXF.
Gerbview allows you to visualize the design on the computer or in printed copy. 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 can be used to create a workspace. It can contain one or several files from any of the supported file format. You can save the workspace for later use. The workspace you save will link to the design files. All you have to do is reload the workspace file in order to see the entire design.
You can add markup elements to your workspace such as text, barcodes and arrows. 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 has the ability to rasterize single files as well as entire workspaces. You can then save to one or more of the supported file formats.
You can print in scaled, or in the actual size. All Windows based plotters and printers 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.
