Information text showing the meaning of the different colors, are now added to the PDF when comparison is saved.ġ509 One of the Gerber files in a ZIP archive could not be loaded.ġ508 Converting two drill layers into a new DXF file caused the layers to be misaligned.ġ507 Converting Gerber and Drill layers into a DXF file caused the drill layer to be displaced.ġ505 Saving a comparison result of customers files had wrong colors for equal content. A new setting was added to enable or disable inclusion of tracks, and it can be found under Settings->Formats->Advanced.Īdded a new setting for controlling the resolution (DPI) for the PDF created by saving the comparison result.Īdded a new setting to allow Merge Mode to be remembered between sessions.

If a Gerber layer doesn't have any apertures with hole definition, you will now be asked if the tool sizes should be created from the aperture size instead. The resolution and number of colors used for the conversion can be set by the user.

With GerbView you can export individual layers, or the whole workspace, to any of the supported raster formats, which includes TIFF, JPEG, PNG and BMP. You may in addition create a multi-page PDF file from all loaded layers, where each layer will be placed on its own page in the output file. Check out our blog to read more about how you can create layered PDF files with GerbView.

GerbView can create layered PDF, DXF and DWF files where each loaded Gerber file will correspond to a separate layer in the destination file.

With GerbView's PDF to CAD capability you can convert your Adobe PDF files back to editable Gerber RS-274X and DXF files. The newer extended Gerber format contains embedded aperture information, and this minimizes the risk for errors during the manufacturing of the PCB. 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. No more waiting for photo plots or a prototype circuit board, to see your true design. Gerbview will visualize your design, on the screen or in hardcopy. GerbView can view, print and convert Gerber, Extended Gerber, ODB++, PDF, Excellon, PLT, HPGL/2 and other file formats. View, print and convert Gerber, ODB++, PDF and ExcellonĬonvert to PDF, DXF, DWF, RS-274X, TIFF, SVG and more
