Dear users! We do not forget about our rights holders!
All portable assembly, designed exclusively for the promotion of the software and can be used for informational purposes only!

Overview
Gerbv is a viewer for Gerber RS-274X files, Excellon drill files, and CSV pick-and-place files.
Gerbv is a native Linux application, and it runs on many common UNIX platforms. A Windows version is also available.
Gerbv is free / open-source software.
You may download the source code from this page.
The core functionality of gerbv is located in a separate library (libgerbv), allowing developers to include Gerber parsing/editing/exporting/rendering into other programs.
Gerbv is one of the utilities affiliated with the gEDA project, an umbrella organization dedicated to producing free software tools for electronic design.
Gerbv's featureset

In summary, gerbv supports the following features

Gerbv runs on Linux and other Unices (Linux native).
An experimental Windows version is available for beta-testing.
Gerbv displays RS-274X files. (It does not display RS-274D files)
Gerbv handles aperture macros with up to 10 levels of recursion.
Gerbv supports complex layer operations (e.g. knockout).
Gerbv can display many different drill file formats. In particular, Excellon drill files are supported. Other drill files with similar syntax will also display.
Gerbv displays well-formed pick-and-place files. Pick-place files should contain XYRS (X, Y, Rotation, placement Side) information, and be held in a comma-separated ASCII (.csv) format.
Gerbv will autodetect Gerber, drill, or pick-place file type when reading in the file.
When built using the Cairo rendering engine, gerbv can display Gerber layers in "semi-transparent" mode, making it easy to visualize your board's stack up.
Gerbv provides facilities for analyzing and validating your Gerber file's syntax, code count, aperture usage, etc. This can be useful in situations in which you are having problems in the CAM stage of manufacturing your PC Board (i.e. when your manufacturer is having problems with your files).
When built using Cairo, gerbv allows for limited Gerber editing. (Currently limited to object deletion.)
Panning and zooming (both stepwise and outline) of the image is supported.
Gerbv supports image autoscale — i.e. zoom and pan the image to fit the viewing window.
Multiple files can be loaded simultaneously and be shown "on top of each other".
The number of layers you may load simultaneously is unlimited by gerbv.
The layer order (stackup) may be changed using an intuitive "drag and drop" menu.
You may turn display of individual layers on and off independently using a checkbox.
You may set layer colors independently using a pop up color choice window.
You may change the layer polarity (negative/positive display).
Gerbv incorporates a measurement tool so you can make measurements on the image.
Three different measurement units supported: inch, mm, mil (1/1000 inch). Measurement units are user-selectable
Gerbv can export a layer image to PNG, .ps, .pdf, and .svg, both from within the GUI as well as via a command line switch (cairo version only).
Gerbv performs negative/scratch draws.
Gerbv includes a reload operation, which re-reads all loaded files off disk. This feature is useful when you are manually hacking Gerber files.
Gerbv allows you to save a session into a project file. The project file stores the names of all loaded files, their stackup, color, etc. so so you can easily reload all Gerber files in a project at a later date (e.g. after re-editing then using a PCB layout tool).
