GerbView

GerbView is an advanced, but easy to use Gerber, Excellon and HPGL viewer that enables you to view, print, markup and convert Gerber, HPGL, Excellon and raster files. GerbView supports both RS274D and RS274X Gerber formats. You can use GerbView to convert from the old RS274D Gerber standard to the new RS274X with embedded aperture information
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.
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.
