Gerber & Drill Viewer - What's out there?

UlfK

All,

I have for many years been using Viewmate (Pentalogix) although never having been able to view the drill files together with the gerber data. But - my designs has worked and boards delivered has been fine. A collegue of mine has been using Camtastic..."something" in order to review my data and he was also unsuccessful in trying to look at the drill data.

Nothing strange. I use metric data, RS274X, excellon, leading zeroes omission...

So my question is: Does it exist a free viewer that can import and display the drill data together with the gerber layers?

    Been there. Done That. My problem is that the drill data will not display in the same scale as the gerber data. I use Metric output, with same accuracy x,y for both Gerber 274X and Drill but ViewMate rescales the drill data to something which I am not able to adjust.
