gerbv
hi
i have extracted some gerber files from the altium designer, and opened with the opensource gerberviewer program, the GERBV. ( http://gerbv.sourceforge.net/ )
the problem is, if i open a signal layer, some of the via pads are bigger than they really are in the design. actually i have observed that these pads connect to the plane layers, and they have bigger pad diameters on plane layers, but the gerbv shows the pad diameter from the plane on the signal layers. If i open the gerbers with the viewmate, the pads have correct size.
why is it?
