-
+ Gerber Viewer (gerbv) is a viewer for Gerber files. Gerber files
+ are generated from PCB CAD system and sent to PCB manufacturers as
+ basis for the manufacturing process. The standard supported by gerbv
+ is RS-274X. The basic difference between RS-274D (the old standard)
+ and RS-274X is basically the addition of apertures in RS-274X. It
+ might be possible to make an RS-274X file out of an RS-274D file and
+ an aperture list.
+
+ gerbv also supports drill files. The format supported are known
+ under names as NC-drill or Excellon. The format is a bit undefined
+ and different EDA-vendors implement it different. But basically you
+ need to have the tools definition in the file, then the parser is
+ quite tolerant. The different holes are shown as dots in the (scaled)
+ correct size.
+
+ The different layers of the PCB are separated into different files.
+ gerbv can load all files at the same time and display them "on top
+ of each other". You can independently turn them on and off.
