You can set the size of this workspace to one of the preselected paper sizes, or to a custom size. The workspace will reference your design files, so only need to reload the workspace to see the whole design. The workspace can be saved for later use. In GerbView you work with a workspace that can contain one or more files (layers) of any of the supported file formats. 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. This is very useful for converting older Gerber files into new extended Gerber files. You can optionally create multi-page files, where each file, or layer, will be placed on its own page in the output file.įinally you can convert the loaded layers into individual files, one file per layer. 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 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 Autodesk DXF files. The newer extended Gerber format contains embedded aperture information and 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. You no longer have to wait for a prototype circuit board to see your true design. Gerbview will visualize your design, on the screen or in hardcopy.
