What is a GWK file?
A GWK file is a job file created by GraphiCode PCB software, a program used to view, edit, and prepare printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing data. It stores information about a specific PCB job in a proprietary format, including job settings, layer names, aperture lists, drill lists, display options, editing changes, and references to related files, such as Gerber layers and drill files.
More Information
PCB designers, electrical engineers, and manufacturing technicians who prepare circuit board designs for production are the primary users of GWK files. The format allows users to manage and review their design data within the software and to close and reopen a project later, with all settings and adjustments preserved.
How to open a GWK file
You can open GWK files with GraphiCode software, such as GC-Prevue and GraphiCode GC-PowerPlace. Once opened, the software loads the job file and reconnects it to the associated Gerber and drill files, allowing the complete PCB layout to be viewed and edited.
