Reliable gerber editing software
« on: March 18, 2016, 05:45:14 pm »
Hi

I need to edit some 4 layer gerber before sending it off to get some boards made. Can anyone recommend a decent piece of software? I would prefer not to pay for it but if its not too much money I might consider it. I do not edit gerber that often so it isnt something I want to invest a lot of money in.

Thanks

Trev

Gerbv......google it. There are some web-based ones but they lack features  and can be sluggish.

The other gerber viewers are expensive, node-locked or bloatware.

I checked out the windows version and I do not seem to be able to edit/add/remove anything. Well I can remove stuff actually but that seems to be it. Maybe I am missing something?

My error and my apologies. GERBV is only a viewer.

shame as it seems a straight forward application that displays gerber nicely.
