    Hello.

    I've just downloaded and installed the viewer, because the Valor Viewer in the old version (very very useful until version 8.x) is no more targeted by the latest releases of the PCB Editor.

    Despite the fact that the site page and the help reports the possibility to open .BRD files, the application doesn't offer this possibility, limiting the usable formats at .SIP and .DPS extensions.

    Do you know how I can open a .BRD file?

    Thank you and best regards.

    Antonio

    Just for clarity, the current 16.6 Free Viewer is one install file. It will install a standalone folder with .brd and .mcm/.sip viewers in the Start menu:
