GC-GC-Prevue

GC-Prevue is the industry standard software for viewing electronics manufacturing data. With over 100,000 users worldwide, GC-Prevue brings ease-of-use and standardization to manufacturing data analysis. A powerful crossindustry workgroup tool, GC-Prevue allows you to examine photoplot data, print check copies, and produce a work
file for use by other GraphiCode products.

GC-Prevue can be used and shared by anyone needing to view electronics design and manufacturing data. Users of the product include; PCB Designer, Fabricators, Assemblers, and Testers. They 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-PowerPlace, 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 Tooll
Document printing provides output of basic assembly drawings, inspection templates, and fabrication and
drill drawings.

Output Format Supported:
. Gerber-D (RS-274D)
. Gerber-X (RS-274X)
. Barco
. HPGL
. Excellon
. Sieb & Meyer

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 Converted 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.

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.
