FlexBV FREE Edition - Modern Boardview software for Win, macOS and Linux

[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 support ( diode, volt, resistance values, diagnostic guides, part values --- check https://openboarddata.org to see if your board has data available )
* GenCAD support complete with part/pad shapes
* BVR3 and BVRe support
* Will have full Teboview support too when that's completed for the full FlexBV version.

The more the merrier. I've noticed a lot of people still using much older software, so I hope that this feature-similar cut down version of FlexBV would give people a chance to upgrade to something that's easier to use and visually clearer.

Teboview support has now been added.

This was perhaps the one thing left that another much older boardviewer had that I couldn't match, and now it's done.

Best thing is, FlexBV's representation is a LOT nicer as well as pad and part outlines.

Is there no boardview software for android?

Is there no boardview software for android?

I believe that Openboardview did have an android build on one of the forks but it's definitely not a platform I'm currently building for.

Ok i will look into it.

Thank you
