This is an excellent program for
calculating trace impedances, both stripline and
microstripline. Recommended by IPC . See the
calculator page for free
downloads. http://www.ultracad.com
CAM
350 is an excellent tool for editing gerbers, or
updating old designs
for release to manufacuring. You can read Old
Gerbers then convert to DXF.

GSVIEW, Ghostscript is shareware program for
converting Schematic, Gerber,
and Drawings to ADOBE PDF. All you have to do is
first print to a
postscript file from Windows. This will also do
many sheets, then make one
PDF file for viewing on any computer. Also, one
can convert the postscript
file to a JPEG or Bitmap file. Very handy, easy to
use and fast.
