1.What is Gerber Viewer？

Gerber File Viewer is an advanced viewing software designed for Gerber, HPGL/HPGL-2, and Excellon formats. The Gerber file viewer has many advanced features, including zooming, measuring, marking, etc., multi-layer viewing, support for mouse wheel zooming and panning.

The Gerber format is an open 2D binary vector image format for PCB designs. And the Gerber file is a document format collection of circuit board industry software describing printed circuit board (circuit layer, solder mask layer, character layer, etc.) images and drilling and milling data. It is a standard format for image conversion in the printed circuit board industry. All PCB design software can output Gerber files, and all PCB manufacturing software can process them, enabling PCB professionals to exchange design data for PCBs safely and efficiently.

2.The function of Gerber Viewer.

Different Gerber viewers have their own different functions, but the general functions are similar. The following function introductions are available in most Gerber viewers, and they are all comprehensive.

functions:

View, print, mark up and convert Gerber, Adobe PDF, ODB++, Excellon, Autodesk DXF and HPGL/2.

Convert multiple Gerber files to multi-layer PDF, DWF or DXF files.

Convert ODB++ to layered PDF, or convert to a single file using Gerber, PDF, DXF or SVG formats.

Convert format from the old RS-274D format to RS-274X, also known as the extended Gerber format.

Compare the Gerber and ODB++ layers and visualize any differences.

Check the drill size and tool information in Gerber file.

Measure distance, area and perimeter.

Highlight selected apertures in Gerber and ODB++ files.

Edit drill shape and size in the Gerber file.

Select to delete items in the Gerber file based on aperture and purpose.

Delete the selected item from the Gerber file.

Replaces apertures in Gerber files.

Copper Surface Area Calculation.

Extract drill data from Gerber files.

Rotate, mirror, and scale layers.

User-defined headers and footers can be added for printing.

Full mode print preview.

Change layer polarity (negative/positive display).

3.What Gerber files contain?

The Gerber file is the file exported by the R&D personnel from the PCB file. The content of this file covers the circuit layer, Pad layer (pad layer), solder mask layer, silkscreen layer, and stencil layer. Therefore, The factory needs to use the Gerber file to open the stencil and make it. Then these layers are required.

The Gerber files maybe contain as below:

4.Classification of Gerber Viewers.

Popular Gerber Viewers in PCB&PCBA manufacturer:

CAM350

CAM350 is a powerful and easy-to-use PCB design software. The software covers the comprehensive process from PCB design to PCB processing and manufacturing and it is mainly suitable for all kinds of PCB design and manufacturing engineers. The software provides powerful PCB circuit board manufacturing, drilling, and solder masking, as well as analysis and inspection of PCB circuits, and supports data compatibility with ODB++, Gerber, IPC-356, Excellon, and CAD.

CAM350 provides a comprehensive process from PCB design to PCB processing and manufacturing and guides the production and processing of PCB. Today's electronic product design is increasingly complex, requiring smaller size, faster speed, and less design and processing overhead. It requires careful transfer of engineering data to the PCB processing process. The tools provided by CAM350 support both PCB designers (CAM350 for Engineering) and PCB manufacturers ( CAM350 for Fabrication ).

Genesis2000

Genesis2000 is a very easy-to-use and powerful PCB circuit board design-aided manufacturing software. Genesis2000 is known as one of the strongest circuit CAM software. Genesis2000 has many advantages. Many large and small circuit board factories and light painting companies use this software. It adopts the Valor Genesis 2000 CAM system, which can make the CAM operation process into a number of standard modules according to different layers and material specifications, automate analysis, edit data processing, reduce manual errors and increase operational efficiency.

It is software used to process PCB design data. The function of processing single and double boards is not as good as that of CAM350, but the function of processing multi-layer boards is very powerful.

Popular Gerber Viewers in PCB designer & design engineer:

GerbMagic

GerbMagic is a free Gerber viewer software with various viewing options available. It allows you to use Gerber file layers. Select layers to view, deselect to hide. To get the correct view, you can zoom, move and align the loaded design. Mirroring and scaling options are also available. The distance between two objects/points can be measured here.

GerberLogix

GerberLogix is another simple WINDOWSGRB file viewer. It allows you to easily manage and view the various layers of your Gerber files. Layers can be moved up or down manually. It also comes with tools for viewing all layers, zooming in objects, selecting objects, moving objects, and more. You can also measure point-to-point, object-to-object, and center-to-center distances with this free GRB viewer. Change the color of layers and objects to enhance the view. Preview graphics before printing them.
