Hi,

I am looking for a free software to perform some basic DRC on the
RS-274-X files: the spacing between the contiguous areas etc.

(This would not be a huge programming excercise, and I am sure somebody
has already done it..)

Thanks for any help.

-- Andy

There's a Gerber viewer with the Kicad free PCB suite. I don't know if
it can measure, but it's open source so perhaps you could add it...

See my notes and links to some 60 ECAD programs at

Apart from Kicad that Paul mentioned, several have Gerber viewer
facilities.

Try GC-Prevue from    http://www.graphicode.com/

It is a freebee Gerber viewer and measurer.  I use it all the time for
checking gerber output after a board layout.   RS-274X too.

Thanks to everyone for the pointers / suggestions.

The Gerber viewers that I've tried did not have the DRC on Gerber function.

I've found CAM350 which performed fine.
