Hi Lucas!

Sure! This one's easy, go to http://www.lavenir.com they gotta shareware
viewer called "Viewmate" that's good...I use it all the time. Just visit the
site and download that puppy! Can print from it and every stuff. Just can't
save anything...but hey, it's shareware. What I do though if I want to use
the gerber silkscreen for some special process documentation (like jumper
wires and whatnot) is bring the layer up in viewmate, hit the "Printscreen"
key on your keyboard (that saves your screen to the clipboard), and then do a
paste in whatever graphics program you use...I use PaintShop Pro. Then I can
add anything I want...arrows, text, (whatever)...

Hope this helps!
