Re: [PEDA] Viewing Gerber Files

[Harry Selfridge]

The Gerber file extensions are listed in the Help Files under: 
Index>Output, generating>Gerber File Output Setup>File Extensions Used to 
Identify Each Gerber File.  They are also in the printed Protel 99 manual 
on page 610.

To view the files, you should use a Gerber editor such as Camtastic, 
Viewmate, or GCPrevue.

Full version Camtastic came with 99SE, but you can also download a free 
Camtastic viewer at: http://www.altium.com/camtastic/downloads/viewer_rego.asp
Viewmate free Gerber viewer is available at: 
http://www.pentalogix.com/Download/download.html
GC-Prevue free Gerber viewer is available at: 
http://www.graphicode.com/pages/download.cfm

In 99SE how do I view the Gerber Files I've produced?  Clicking on them 
merely displays their text content rather than a graphic view.  Also, 
where can I find a legend that describes which Gerber file extensions 
correspond to which layers/planes in the original PCB layout?

Thanks,
Ray
