TheosBV Windows beta — free
A fast boardview tool for repair — opens .brd, .cad (GenCAD), .pcb (XZZ), .tvw and more, bridges to schematic PDFs side-by-side, and highlights nets as you click. Built and maintained by one person, and free for everyone.
Build dated 2026-07-16 (r1143). .tvw boards now render with real pad shapes and real component footprints — each pin draws its true pad geometry (rectangular, square or custom polygon) and each part draws its real footprint outline instead of a generic box, so dense areas stay clean. This builds on the fully reverse-engineered connectivity: every part is located and every pin resolved to its true net and position, net-click works across the whole board, and part top/bottom sides are read so flipping shows each real face. Netweb now has two modes — Original (star) and Constellation (a shortest-path web). Plus an icon toolbar, Parts/Nets jump menus, bookmarks, board mirror (H/V) and flip-over-X, an editable Trace-rules editor, a first-launch file-association prompt and a new app icon. Also opens GenCAD and XZZ boards with real pad shapes; four themes; split-screen schematic PDF bridge; OBData, Schematic Workbench, mini-map, inspection history, linked-net tracing and per-component-type colours.
Active development continues.
