     Viewmate should open it just fine.  Just select all file types and open it.

    You may be trying to open a control file instead of import->Gerber?

     Thanks.

    i actually opened it, but is there a way for me to save all my gerber/drill files

    into a .bin or .zip file and just open the whole thing inside the viewer?

    cheerZ,
