Thanks Paul...This is an important update for ALL the repair community.
For years now the repair industry has suffered to a new class of gatekeeper when it comes to getting our boardviews & schematics, files are being leaked out of factories but only to select groups who then no longer share those files out to the community, locking them up in a proporiatory format with online-only access.
The XZZ PCB file format has now been reverse engineered and you can now read those .pcb files in FlexBV, free, demo and licenced edtiions.

I've also shared the the format information and crucial details to people who are also writing support for OBV.
I would like to thank the people who created the tools for saving the files out of XZZ and to those who used their skills to find the crucial bits of information we needed to unravel the file format.

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.

If you replace a new capacitor:
Can the size of the capacitor be larger or smaller than the original?

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... -
I recently purchased a FlexBV license. When I search PDF it is too blurry to read. Do I need a specific PDF reader?
