GC-Prevue is CAD/CAM software designed to help you work more efficiently with DPF, RS-274 (often called "Gerber") photoplotter and NC drill CAD output data, with a particular emphasis on Printed Circuit Board (PCB) applications. GC-Prevue also supports HPGL and Quest (Marconi Emma) plotter formats.
By verifying your CAD data from the photoplotter's point of view you will save time, money and headaches due to miscommunication with your photoplotting service and fabrication facilities.
Job files prepared using GC-Prevue are saved in the .GWK format, which is fully compatible with GraphiCode's product line, beginning with version numbers 4.0.0 and greater. (See "Error Messages Related to Loading Data Files “.) There are also several GraphiCode software packages sold under private labels that use the .GWK format. Contact your photoplotting bureau or PCB fabrication house to see if they accept jobs in GC-Prevue .GWK format.
GC-Prevue job files can contain all circuit, soldermask and solderpaste layer data, aperture tables (including custom aperture shapes) and drill information needed to effectively communicate with your photoplotting vendor and fabrication house.
Prevue will load Extended Gerber ("RS274X") and MDA FIRE file formats, which include aperture information. Use the Gerber or Auto input format when loading these files.
