When converting from GDSII to DXF several features are important: the ability to quickly determine the list of structures in the stream file, the list of data that have layers and the units of the file.

GDS2DXF quickly scans the entire file and presents the user with a complete list of structures including a hierarchy tree. It also presents the user with a list of layers containing data.

In many cases a package engineer only needs data from a single layer - converting the entire file would create a DXF file of hundreds of megabytes

A special feature unique to GDS2DXF is the ability to recognize a circular boundary in GDSII and convert it to a circle entity in AutoCAD.

This results in a very compact and easy-to-use file in AutoCAD.

The Configuration Menu gives you control over the results. GDS2DXF remembers your settings from job to job.

The Layer Menu enables you to select layers for translation quickly - just check off layers you want. Supports up to 999 layers. Easily control the mapping from DXF layer name to GDSII layer number.

Scroll through the entire list of structures and click on the one you want to translate.
