GC-Prevue can be used and shared by anyone needing to view electronics design and manufacturing data. Users of the product include PCB Designers, Fabricators, Assemblers and Testers who use GC-Prevue to:
- Verify design data accuracy prior to manufacturing
- Evaluate board complexity
- Estimate part and hole counts for job quotes
- Document manufacturing data, including inspection templates, assembly drawings, fabrication documents, and drill drawings
- View stencil files before and after stencil creation
- Share information in a common database format across other GraphiCode products, including GC-PowerStation, GC-Place, and GC-ICT
ONE DATA FILE, FEWER ERRORS
By combining all the files needed for manufacturing in one complete work file, GC-Prevue easily transfers work from design to fabrication to assembly to test. This reduces operator data input errors, which is the source of many manufacturing errors.A DESIGN TOOL
PCB designers use GC-Prevue to view data ensuring data accuracy prior to releasing designs to manufacturing.AN ASSEMBLY TOOL
Document printing provides output of basic assembly drawings, inspection templates, and fabrication and drill drawings.A MANUFACTURING TOOL
Manufacturers use GC-Prevue to view design data and evaluate board complexity, as well as estimate part and hole counts before preparing a job quote. When issues are detected, GC-Prevue provides a platform to highlight required changes for the customer or designer.EASILY CONVERT CAD APERTURE LISTS
With support for automatic aperture list conversion from the most popular CAD packages, GC-Prevue can automatically load the CAD generated aperture list and then load the actual manufacturing data.GC-Prevue reads all commonly generated electronics manufacturing outputs:
- Gerber-D (RS-274D)
- Gerber-X (RS-274X)
- Barco
- HPGL
- Excellon
- Sieb & Meyer
DATA ANALYSIS MADE EASY
Designed for ease of use, GC-Prevue requires limited technical expertise to operate. With an intuitive user interface, and mouse-driven menus you will be able to take advantage of GC-Prevue immediately. Its process-oriented on-line help provides practical instructions for getting your work done.ABSOLUTELY FREE
As shareware, GC-Prevue may be freely distributed by fabricators and manufacturers to their PCB designers. This allows interactive communications between different phases of design and manufacturing, as well as providing a standard platform to resolve issues.
