Read/Edit/Write Gerber Job files

2024-03-08T04:17:18.796000Z

Hi,

I would like to have the ability to read/edit/write Gerber Job files. These are in JSON format and describe the layer stackup and the filenames that contain the data for each layer. They are used by the likes of Eurocircuits to describe the layer stackup for manufacturing.

#105 Feature request to save color presets

2023-04-27T15:32:41.749000Z

I wanted to add that the latest version I spoke about in my feature request above that doesn't work is version 2.7 located here. I guess that may be another fork.

Feature request to save color presets

2023-04-26T16:49:47.475000Z

I too would like the addition of of way to save the color presets after setting them up. The colors always have to be reset to my previous settings on every use. I am running on Windows 10. Usually this would be done storing the changes in the registry. Also an added note I am running version gerbv-win-static_20160713 as the latest version won't run as it has multiple error messages about missing .dll's etc.

Thank you,
Dave (Grumple)

Please add a method to save default colors

The color scheme changes everytime you use the program. Would someone please add a feature to save and restore a color pallet.

Thank you,

Sam

#103 Rotate and Mirror view

2022-11-16T21:09:26.382000Z

I use the following cli options to display the board mirrored and rotated:
-r, --rotate=<degree> Set initial orientation for all layers.
-m, --mirror=<axis> Set initial mirroring axis (X or Y).
Did you try them?</axis></degree>

For example, to see the board up-side-down (flipped along y-axis) and rotated 90 deg:
$ gerbv -my -r90 -p Gerber/gerbv.gvp &

Individual layers can be moved, but and addition of viewing board Mirrored, or/and Rotated would be helpful.

#85 default color choice

2022-11-14T20:42:28.122000Z

Again, it is now 8 years later, this seems to be an easy fix to associate the gerber file extensions with a specific color. Anybody?

#86 default layer sorting order

2022-11-14T20:41:08.802000Z

It is now 8 years later, can we fix this simple thing?

#102 Align 2 layers by apitures, with diffrent sized / shaped apitures

2020-09-18T17:09:49.206000Z

After more use, i have discovered that most of the time you can align 2 layers with this new feature. It only dosent work if the apitures are not standard shapes,

When it works, which i have found is most of the time, its a huge time saver. Thanks

This ticket could maybe be closed now, as i can see why nonstandard or poured aptitures would be very hard to align by.

Align 2 layers by apitures, with diffrent sized / shaped apitures

2020-08-28T17:43:58.452000Z

Selecting 2 apertures dose not un grey out the option to align layers.
I think this is because the apitures are not the same size.

I primarly use this to validate checkplots from board houses and stencil houses aganst the gerber data sent, So they never come back with exactly the same size/shape as they are modded for DFM by the board house to result in a board with the right shape.

Iwasnt sure if this was a bug or a feature request.

I love the new option to apply an offset to all visable layers. this saves me a LOT of time.

Thank you
