Greeting HimNanDa, can you please confirm if you are attempting to open a ".brd" file extension and not some other type? This looks more like a file-format error.

In answer to your question, one can check their viewer version using the menu Help > About. See below example showing version 22.1 S005 which is the latest viewer version.

Yes you are correct. The PCB Editor is used to import and view gerber data in the Cadence tool suite. The free viewer allows users to view the actual brd designs; it is not intended as a gerber viewer. It allows a user to view and analyse many details of the design which you cannot do in gerber format. You should download one of the many free viewers available online to visualise this gerber data.
