Gerber output viewer

danstock

I have generated the gerber output layers but when I open the individual layer files they appear as text only.  Is this because I am using the trial version or am I missing something??

    I also have tried viewing Gerber files using CS.  I can't.  I have used Altium and it has a wonderful Gerber viewer built-in.  I think since this is the cheap version of Altium, they don't include a Gerber viewer.  It wouldn't be all too difficult to put it in there.  If you need to look at your Gerber files, you'll need to either download a third party Gerber viewer or upload your files to one of the many PCB manufacturing websites that show you your layers.  Unless there is something that I am totally missing about CS.  I would also love to view the Gerbers.  It was a great check to see that all of my layers and vias lined up properly.
