JLCPCB gerber viewer broken?

(1/3) > >>

zapta:
I don't see anything in the JLCPCB gerber viewer. The orders go through successfully but I don't see any board outline or layers in the gerber viewer, on Chrome Mac and Windows. This used to work for me in the past.

Is it just me? Any suggestions?

To reproduce, upload a gerber.zip and click on the gerber viewer link.

JohanH:
I tried and there are some issues, indeed.

It looks fine in the preview, but when clicking on "Gerber Viewer" and it opens in a new tab, the browser becomes really slow and I just caught a glimpse of the PCB bolting away, towards the bottom right corner of the screen and disappearing. After that it was a blank view and controls responded slowly. I couldn't see the PCB again. If you click again on Gerber Viewer, the same happens again.

Can't remember when I checked the Gerber Viewer last time, I think it had some issues once in the past, too.

Anyway, you can view Gerbers also with Kicad, for instance.

zapta:
Thanks Johan. This is very useful.

SiliconWizard:
I've also found JLCPCB Gerber viewer to be flaky. OTOH, PCBWay's one works plenty fine - you can use it to preview your PCBs, the viewer is completely free and you don't need to order anything to use it.

retiredfeline:
PCBWAY's gerber viewer is based on the open source https://tracespace.io/view/ which is also available to use by all. PCBWAY once made some changes in their copy and didn't keep up to date with the original and some quirks showed up. I told them to get synced and the problem went away.
