How do I view my CAM files (i.e Gerbers, ODB++, NC Drill/Rout, etc.) using PCB Preflight?

1. Upload your CAM files into PCB Preflight. You may either select the blue UPLOAD button or drop any files onto the Dashboard.
Note: When possible make sure to check the upload option: Extract PCB Attributes (i.e min trace/space). This option will automatically extract a netlist if uploading older Gerber format files (like RS-247X), plus it will verify your PCB design is complete and extract all board manufacturing and assembly details.
Upload Default Options: You can choose the upload option Extract PCB Attributes to be the default behavior every time files are uploaded, by going to Account Settings > Upload options and check Extract PCB Attributes and press button: Save and Update.
2. Select any Job from your Dashboard and it will become visible inside the PCB Preflight editor.
Here's the resulting uploaded PCB design inside the PCB Preflight editor:
