Gerber File question
« on: January 08, 2014, 01:47:07 am »
Anyone esp expert in PCB design. Is there a way or software that can be used to determine what PCB software package is used to generate a gerber file? I'm having in inquiry from PCB fab asking me if i can tell them what software is used to generate the gerber i forwarded to them which in turn came from our customer. Our customer have no idea also since it was only given to them by their counterpart in US.

Appreciate any response from expert here and thanks...

There might be a comment line in the gerber files.

Something like this:

Code: [Select]
%FSLAX34Y34*%
G04 Gerber Fmt 3.4, Leading zero omitted, Abs format*
G04 (created by PCBNEW (2013-10-14 BZR 4386)-product) date Tue 15 Oct 2013 01:07:32 AM CEST*
%MOIN*%
