Viewing Gerber Files

[s0fighter]

Hi,

I am new to using Gerber files, and have never used any viewer before. I am trying to find the viewer for these files: http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/AVR2016.zip

I tried softwares like GC-Prevue and ViewPlot. GC-Prevue doesn't help.
ViewPlot gives something like a netlist. Can someone please help me with this?

Thanks in advance,
SF

A Gerber File is a file format used by printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing machines to lay out electrical connections such as traces, vias, and pads (the component "footprints" on the PCB). A Gerber file can also contain information for drilling and milling the circuit board.

These files are generated by PCB CAD software, and are sent to manufacturers where they are loaded into a CAM system to prepare data for each step of the PCB production process.
