GRS500 CADView Standard and Professional

Two versions of GRS500 CADView are available, the functionality of both versions is identical:

GRS500 CADView Standard — is dedicated to a single CAD input of your choice.

GRS500 CADView Professional — includes all available input processors plus any new processors released during your first year of ownership

Both standard and professional editions also include a free of charge Gerber input.

Paperless repair

Imagine a facility to selectively X-ray a faulty net. Even more important is the ability to use the GRS PCB repair facility to highlight faulty nets on screen — even when they disappear into an internal layer.

**Gerber data is photo-plotting information and contains limited data for repair purposes. Polar recommends you choose to use CAD data wherever possible.
