GDSII to DXF format

Post by WildWolfCJ » Tue Apr 02, 2024 3:41 am

QCAD 3.28.2 pro win10
Hello, everyone
My electron beam lithography machine software needs to add support for GDSII file format. This software already supports DXF format.
Is there a way to convert GDSII to DXF format?

Thank you so much

Thank you for your reply. I checked whether asm3500 is charged. I found klayout which can convert gds to dxf. Do you know about klayout scripting?

Hi,
Not familiar with:
- Editors for integrated circuits.
- Ruby or Python scripting language.
- KLayout Scripting API

HI CVH
Thank you for your patient reply. Yesterday I successfully converted the gds file into a dxf file using klayout, but when parsing it with netdxf, it prompted this error (the version is too low). My current idea is to use QCAD's save as function to upgrade the dxf version , is there any QCAD script for this?

The QCAD command line tool dwg2dwg converts files between versions.

After testing, dwg2dwg can successfully solve the version conversion problem. Thank you very much. Thank you very much for giving me guidance on every problem.
