Hello My GC Prevue software to view gerbers with has stopped working.gc-prevue told me its because we need to pay now to continue with it ($50/yr). We also use the free 'viewmate', but do you agree, that the free version of viewmate is not as good as gc-prevue basic gerber viewer?

Basic gerber-viewer GC Prevue seems more flexible and better than basic gerber viewer viewmate? Or is it that i just dont know how to use the free viewmate?certainly swapping which layer 'goes on top' doesnt seem possible with viewmate.

Also, the grid in free viewmate doesnt seem to be changeable manually? Also, i cant seem to find the 'z' function in free viewmate, where you push 'z' and then the cursor is at reference zero and you can measure from it. (you can do this in gc-prevue.).

Function The CAM panel provides quick access to the list of layers that are available in the current CAM document and also enables you to view design-related information arising from commands including object querying, netlist extraction and Design Rule Checking (DRC). Content and Use The drop-down list at the top of the panel allows you to quickly change between the CAM Editor and the NC Editor modes. The section directly beneath this field lists all of the available layers in the current CAM document (*.cam).

Layers are listed in the same order that they appear in the Layers Table dialog ( Tables » Layers). For each layer in the list, the name and number is given, along with an option for controlling visibility of the layer (whether it is turned ON or OFF). A color box is also shown, showing the color that is currently assigned to the layer. Clicking on the color open the Change Layer Color dialog, providing a variety of colors to choose from.

At the top of the layers list, the name of the current layer is displayed. The current layer is the layer that will be used to place any new objects, such as lines, polylines and drill points. The current layer is also distinguished by a white cross placed in the color box for that layer's entry. To make any layer the current layer, double-click on its entry in the list. Right-clicking on a single layer entry in the list will pop-up a menu containing the following layer-related commands: • Type - displays the layer type that has been assigned to the layer in the Layers Table dialog. • ON - toggles visibility of the layer. When the layer is turned ON (i.e.

It is visible in the design workspace) a tick symbol will appear to the left of the command and the corresponding visibility option for the layer will become enabled. • Current - makes the layer the current layer.

A tick symbol will appear to the left of the command, the name of the layer will appear in the Current Layer field (at the top of the layers list) and a white cross will appear in the associated color box for the layer. • Lock - locks the layer, preventing any drawing from being carried out upon it. When enabled, a tick symbol will appear to the left of the command. • RESCan - performs a date comparison for the selected layer between data (Gerber/ODB ++ Feature) existing in the active CAM document and that last generated from the same source PCB document. If the last generated data is newer than the existing data, the Reload command will be enabled. • Reload - regenerates data for the selected layer that has been detected by the Rescan process to have been changed.
