PCB file openers, viewers, etc. These apps are known to open certain types of PCB files. Remember, different programs may use PCB files for different purposes, so you may need to try out a few of them to be able to open your specific file. In fact, if you have an Illustrator vector file, and want to use it as a basis for your PCB artwork, you can export it to SVG format and then open it with Inkscape. I used to use a program called Eagle to design PCBs as hobbyist for several years, but after making a few projects, I began to appreciate how hard Eagle makes it to import.

Do I have the right program?

Can I use a universal file viewer?

A universal file viewer is the way to go when you have PCP files that can’t be opened by any other program. Install a universal file viewer like File Magic (Download) and see if it will open your PCP file. Remember that if your file is not compatible, the universal file viewer will only open it in binary format.
