Besides the commercial vendors there are plenty of free GDSII utilities. These free tools include editors, [3] [4] [5] viewers, [6] utilities to convert the 2D layout data into common 3D formats, [7] [8] utilities to fly through a 3D version, [9] utilities to convert the binary format to a human readable ASCII format [10] and program libraries ...
Neutral file exchange uses an intermediary neutral format to translate data between CAD systems. This method starts from a pre-processor embedded in the original CAD system, which generates the neutral file from the originating CAD format. The target CAD system post-processes the neutral file and converts it into the target native format. [7]
DXF was introduced in December 1982 as part of AutoCAD 1.0, and was intended to provide an exact representation of the data in the AutoCAD native file format, DWG (Drawing). For many years, Autodesk did not publish specifications, making correct creation of DXF files difficult. Autodesk now publishes the incomplete [3] DXF specifications online.
The LibreDWG project has resumed active development, including the addition of more recent .dwg and .dxf formats with version 0.5 in June of 2018. [12] The most recent release as of November 2020, version 0.12.5 includes read support for all DWG formats r13+, write support for r2000 DWG and read/write support for all r13+ DXF versions. [ 13 ]

PowerDraw Translator by Engineered Software converts drawings to DXF and EPSF/Illustrator formats. Three-dimensional modeling: ModelShop by Paracomp
CDL files have been replaced by pre-generated C++ headers. Open CASCADE Technology 6.9 2015-05-12 6.9.1 2015-09-28 Introduced "Fuzzy" [6] Boolean operations with specified global tolerance. Introduced built-in multi-threading parallelization tools as alternative to TBB library.
Thus, it is easy to convert from a vector file to a range of bitmap/raster file formats but it is much more difficult to go in the opposite direction, especially if subsequent editing of the vector picture is required. It might be an advantage to save an image created from a vector source file as a bitmap/raster format, because different ...
A circuit design language (CDL) is a kind of netlist, a description of an electronic circuit. [1] It is usually automatically generated from a circuit schematic. It is used for electronic circuit simulation and layout versus schematic (LVS) checks. It is similar to SPICE netlists, but with some extensions.
