Sounds like a design file database, possibly PADS PCB package.

Subject:        [TN] Opening *.pcb CAD files

Hi everyone,

        I received a CAD file with a *.pcb extension from a customer. The
gerber viewer I have (GerbTool) does not allow me to view this type of file.
It is an ASCII format. Would anybody know a software (freeware preferably)
that would allow me to view this type of file.

Thanks !

Philippe O'Reilly
