LayoutEditor 20130224

LayoutEditor is a resourceful application that provides practical tools for editing layouts for MEMS, IC, PCB, MCM, COB, MMIC, LTCC and more.

You will be more efficient thanks to the LayoutEditor's user friendly interface that  uses clear and easy to use shortcuts and mouse buttons/keys combinations.

LayoutEditor's main format is Calma GDSII but is also compatible with different  formats like GDSII, OASIS, OpenAccess, SOURCE, CIF, DXF, Gerber, CSV, LEF, DEF, SVG, Lasi, PNG, JPG, Alliance, Electromask, PS, EPS, ODB++, EDIF, Qucs, Spice and more.

Here are some key features of "LayoutEditor":

· font generator
· macros
· schematic driven layout
· boolean operations
· design rule checker
· Text generation
· 3D View
· barcodes
· cross-platform compatible
· supported formats: Calma GDSII, OASIS (Open Artwork System Interchange Standard), DXF, CIF (Caltech Intermediate Form)

Limitations:
