Open .asc boardview files online
Open .asc boardview files in the browser, nothing to install. Components, pins and nets on both sides, plus an AI assistant that reads this board for repair diagnostics.
Open your .asc fileWhat is a .asc file
ASC here means Fabmaster ASC exports, and they come in four kinds: pins.asc, nails.asc, parts.asc and a Net Listing. BoardFix tells them apart by contents and shows components, board sides and nets from whichever one you have.
How to open a .asc file in BoardFix
- Create a free account — viewing boards is free on every plan.
- Press “Open board” and pick the file. A ZIP, RAR or 7z archive works too: it is unpacked on the server.
- Search a part or a net, click a pin to light up its net, flip between the two sides of the board.
What you see
Every component with its outline and reference designator, every pin with its number and net, both sides of the board, search across parts and nets. A PDF schematic opens alongside the board.
Limits
A single ASC export may hold only part of the board — for example pins without the outline. BoardFix shows what is in the file and does not invent the rest.
Ask about this board
The assistant answers about the board you have open: it reads its real components, pins and nets, so it names parts that exist on this board instead of guessing. Describe the symptom and your measurements — it says what to measure next. The AI has a free starting allowance; after that it needs a paid plan.
