Trusted by PCB designers and manufacturers across Asia Pacific, GC-PrevuePlus builds on the strengths of GC-Prevue by adding advanced verification and analysis features. From connectivity checking to intelligent measurement and reporting, it empowers teams to prevent costly errors, improve collaboration, and accelerate production timelines.
GC-PrevuePlus was developed in direct response to user feedback, providing a powerful yet affordable solution for Gerber translation and editing. Built upon the trusted foundation of GraphiCode’s core products, GC-PrevuePlus enhances your workflow with new capabilities. It includes AutoCAD, DXF/DWG import, advanced measurement and data editing tools, and multiple output formats.
This powerful tool also allows you to effortlessly translate Gerber or DXF files into component placement data for use with SMT, through-hole, and inspection machines, giving you the complete solution for verifying, translating, editing, and converting all your PCB data files.
GC-PrevuePlus goes beyond simple viewing with a suite of advanced features designed to help you analyze and validate your PCB designs.
Clip Selected Data allows the user to remove a specific segment of a trace, rather than having to delete an entire trace entity.
Traces and pads of virtually any shape can be created and added to a new or existing data layer. True Font text can also be added.
The measure feature allows the user to measure the distances between selected data objects or points, from Edge to Edge, Center to Center, Center to Edge and Edge to Center.
Supporting a wide range of industry formats, GC-PrevuePlus seamlessly reads all common CAD-generated electronic manufacturing outputs, including Gerber, AutoCAD DXF and DWG, Barco DPF, Excellon, Sieb & Meyer, HPGL, and HPGL2—ensuring unmatched compatibility and reliability across the design-to-manufacturing process.
The Export DXF feature generates a DXF representation of any data layer exported from GC-PrevuePlus. Some other standard export options are: RS-274-D (GerberD - standard Gerber); RS-274-X (GerberX - extended Gerber); Excellon Drill; Excellon Rout; HPGL and DPF.
Easily manage and inspect individual layers and entities within your design.
Beyond the basics, we also streamline essential tasks like creating clear print documentation, managing design revisions, and applying accurate measuring features. Together, these functions ensure consistency, reduce errors, and improve collaboration across your entire production process.
