Hi,
I had to dig out some ancient drawings (HPGL, gerber set)
late last night. Of course, the originals from which they
were created are not readable by anything "modern" (but,
then again, this is probably true for many things from 2009!).
Thankfully, I have kept all tools and suitable hardware to run
those tools on so that I can recover these sorts of things.
But, it begs the question: what is the tool-du-jour for
reading/viewing/printing/converting *common* >>>OUTPUT<<<
file formats? I.e., if I run off HPGL's of all schematics,
mechanical CAD, etc. and Gerbers of all board artwork,
what tool will give me the most access to those documents
in those forms?
Thx,
