Re: .brd files: Who makes them, and why board viewer?



Of course the manufacturer makes them. The designs are then submitted or distributed to PCB makers (mainly in China for mass scale production), employees and authorized service centers. And my guess that's where they are leaked from!

And from what I can tell, Cadence Design Systems software is widely used to design the mother boards in industry but each PCB maker/printer might require a different format.

And that's where these different viewing tools come handy!...

My younger brother drained coke into the machine and I am having a similar problem, LOL.

The PCB .brd file seems unreadable by Allegra Physical Viewer and Eagle PCB. I tried to hex dump the file but it's pretty much in an unreadable binary format.

Which PCB viewer are you using to view it? Thanks for the upload though ...
