what i means is to conver it to the ascii format

or, to get the GDS2 structure info very easily~

in linux flatten~~ thx a lot
 
a recent post mentionned Anuvad
http://www.softjin.com/html/anuvad.htm

it's a library for GDS2 & OASIS reading/writing, but it includes as a "sample"
a tool to convert GDS2 to ASCII- you'll have to compile it however, but it's
not a big deal-

cheers,

stéphane

I'm just like you...
Thought about wrapping it for perl, on my side, but I didn't do it yet.
We're all with our good intentions but too busy, i'd say-

I downloaded this software last month but has not played around nor
created TCL interface yet.. Would you share your experience with this
API?

I downloaded and compiled Anuvad and it seemed to work for me, though I
haven't tested it too much. gds2txt can be found here:
http://www.magma.ca/~psharris/gds2txt.zip

I haven't tried it though. If it gives you an error then your layout is
probably invalid. If you can send me the exact error and the GDSII layout
I might be able to help you find the problem.

The extension .EXE is to obvious, isn't it?
But for sure you can test it:

% file GDS2TXT.EXE
....

There are several programs to convert gds2 to text. I use
StreamVista-Plot from www.semigy.com. It is a windows gdsii viewer
that can export to text. You can download the demo version and see if
it works for you. It does not convert gdsii directly to text--it just
gives the more meaning geometry info from a gdsii file. You can choose
between a couple of different output formats.

A couple of other pograms to convert gdsii to text are at:
http://www.neander.com/GdsDump.html
http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~iltseng/Downloads/

I haven't used either of these.

Simon, Frank, Jmailguard, PM,

Why would one wish to convert GDSII to text?
Is the purpose to VERIFY the GDSII?
If so, wouldn't a GDSII viewer be better than TEXT?

What is the intended purpose of converting GDSII to text?
 
If you can use a C/C++ compiler take a look at:
