GC-PrevuePlus is an inexpensive PCB Gerber translator and editor developed by GraphiCode. While the free version (GC-Prevue) only views files, GC-PrevuePlus allows you to edit Gerber layout information, translate files into different styles, and export them into multiple CAD formats.
Here is how to edit and convert your PCB data using the platform. Supported Input and Output Formats
Before starting, ensure your file type is compatible. GC-PrevuePlus acts as a universal bridge between major manufacturing files:
Standard Inputs: Gerber (D-code and X-code), AutoCAD DXF/DWG, DPF (Barco), HPGL, NC Drill / NC Rout, and ODB++ (as a paid add-on feature).
Standard Outputs: Extended Gerber (RS-274-X), AutoCAD DXF, and SMT component placement files. How to Import Data Open the software: Launch GC-PrevuePlus on your system.
Load the project: Go to File > Open and select your target GWK database or ODB++ file.
Import raw files: If you are working with individual raw files, use the File > Import command to bring in your Gerber data, CAD geometries, or NC drill paths. How to Edit PCB Data
GC-PrevuePlus provides a dedicated suite of tools to clean up and alter manufacturing data before sending it out to fabrication.
