    BRD files, FlexBV, Eagle

    Am I correct?

    .BRD files that are meant for Eagle can be opened in FlexBV
    however, .BRD files that are meant for FlexBV and OpenBoardView can not be opened in Eagle??

    My Eagle is not opening BRD files I find on the internet, however, I can open just fine those files in FlexBV and OpenBoardView. I can also open fine sample BRD files from Autodesk website.

    What's going on here? Am I doing something wrong?

          EaglePCB 'brd' files are a completely different format; however, you can *export* from Eagle to Fabricator/Hyperlynx and FlexBV can read that.

              FlexBV and Openboardview Confusion
              by willis6732
              Hello,

              Ive finally just purchased Flex BV. Ive been hesitant to purchase Flex BV due to the lack of liturature or youtube tutorials of the program basics.

              What i am finding confusing is obtaining the most updated openboardview files.

              https://github.com/inflex/OpenBoardData
              This github page has the boardfiles available for download, but they seem like they may be out of date. It also says at the bottom that the project has moved to https://openboarddata.org/

              https://openboarddata.org/
              The problem when you go to openboarddata.org...

              FlexBV FREE Edition - Modern Boardview software for Win, macOS and Linux
              by inflex
              Now available, FlexBV Free edition is a slimmed down product of the full licenced version.

              https://pldaniels.com/flexbv5 ( available on the downloads page or most of the way down on the main page )

              If you're looking for a modern alternative to existing boardview programs that's also cross platform then consider giving FlexBV Free a go.

              So what's missing?
              * Schematic/PDF coupling
              * Butterfly view
              * Donor board part searcher
              * Jobs
              * Annotations

              What's new/improved compared to others?
              * OBData...

              Request: Biostar A320MH Ver. 6.7 Boardview (for OpenBoardView)
              by aatech1
              Hello,

              I’m looking for the boardview file for the Biostar A320MH Ver. 6.7 motherboard.
              Preferred format: OpenBoardView-compatible (.fz, .cad, or .brd).

              I already saw that some revisions (like Ver. 6.0) are around, but I specifically need Ver. 6.7 if possible.

              Thanks in advance to anyone who can share or guide me to it!

              Having trouble getting Flexbv to work to view openboarddata files
              by Thefixinator
              Hey guys, I'm feeling like a noob trying to get flexbv to work to be able to download and view a particular board view of a mac mini 2018. Ive tried to read how to use the open board data but it's appearing to be a little confusing on how to actually look up a particular boardview. I'm using the free version to get my feet wet with the software. Ive checked to make sure under the program preferences the openboarddata.org is in the right spot which appeared to be there by default but im not able to open up and board preference to search for a specific board view. I'm probably confused on how it...

              Gigabyte Eagle 3060 Ti - Boardview / Advice request please
              by user234
              Hi all,

              Recently installed a new motherboard but during the process I seemed to have damaged my Gigabyte Eagle 3060 Ti card.

              My motherboard ROG STRIX B550-A is detecting an issue with the VGA (light ON)

              I have attached 2 photo's of my GPU board, one above and the other is what I believe to be the 5V - as you can see, this has visual damage so looks suspicious to me.

              If I replace this part what are the odds this will resolve the issue? - any additional information on where to source the parts would be much apricated too!

              This is...
