PCB Navigator

PCB Navigator

ViewMate Professional includes our PCB Navigator, a software tool used to visually search and inspect components using only fabrication files.

Essentially, it “adds intelligence” to static Gerber files by integrating them with Bill of Materials and XY Data, turning them into an interactive, searchable environment for inspection, troubleshooting, and documentation. This integration allows users designers, manufacturers, assemblers, or brokers to:

  • Identify and locate specific components directly on the PCB layout.
  • Cross-reference part numbers, footprints, and placement coordinates.
  • Verify design details before manufacturing and assembly.
  • Navigate between schematic data and physical PCB locations.

ViewMate Pro and ViewMate Professional are both CAM tools, but they differ significantly in scope and capability:

ViewMate Pro is an established CAM editor designed for PCB data preparation, editing, and manufacturing tasks. It includes features such as Gerber and drill editing, DXF import/export, layer comparison, stencil shape generation, and Smart DFM checks, making it a strong tool for designers and engineers preparing files for fabrication and assembly.

ViewMate Professional represents a major step up by combining the full capabilities of CAMMaster, our premier CAM software with PCB Navigator, the advanced inspection and data-intelligence tool from ViewMate Essentials. CAMMaster adds robust scripting and automation tools alongside advanced CAM functions, and PCB Navigator enhances visualization, search and reporting.
