大家做PCB的时候,很多的时候,一些公司都传来的只是GBR文件,对于这些文件,我们做PCB的厂家,当然没有问题了,因为CAM350,genesis2000都可以导入gbr文件来查看.
但是,有不少访问我们PCB资源网的朋友都提出,没有安装这些PCB软件,那么,怎么查查Gbr文件呢.
GerbView这个软件就可以为我们看这些GBR文件了,我们PCB资源网推荐大家使用这个软件.
如果大家需要PCB生产或打样的,可以联系我们PCB资源网,我的QQ是:28963805
安装完GerbView后,可以使用30天的时间,这对于这些软件来,是很好的了.启动GerbView画面如下:
在运行程序后,我们可以看到以下界面,是用GerbView打开一个GBR文件看到
GerbView的原版说明文档
GerbView is an advanced but easy to use application that enables you to view, print, convert and markup Gerber, HPGL, Excellon and raster files. GerbView supports both RS274D and RS274X (with embedded aperture information) Gerber formats.
Gerbview will visualize your design, on the screen or in hardcopy. No more waiting for photoplots or your prototype circuit board, to see your true design.
In GerbView you work with a workspace that can contain one or more files of the supported file formats. 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, arrows, lines, images, ellipses and polygons can also be added to the workspace. Markups will be stored in a separate file.
GerbView can convert Gerber, HPGL and Excellon files to Autodesk DXF, Adobe PDF and other formats. See list of supported formats below.
GerbView can rasterize single files, or whole workspaces, and save to one of the supported raster formats. Markup elements can optionally be a included in the conversion.
GerbView has mouse-controlled zoom in, zoom out, zoom area and panning.
You can print scaled or in real size. All Windows based plotters and printers are supported.
Use measure and query tools to get information about apertures, tools, pens, distances and areas.
All new licenses include 12-months of free software maintenance.
