The Industry Standard for CAD Translation
Convert mask or PCB layouts between 25 supported formats including GDSII, OASIS, DXF, Gerber RS-274X, ODB++, CIF, PostScript, PDF, SVG, and PNG. Thousands of VLSI, MEMS and PCB engineers rely on LinkCAD to convert, view and transform their designs — all with a single program.
Trusted by Leading Institutions
Universities and companies around the world rely on LinkCAD for their CAD translation needs.
What LinkCAD Does
Translate. View. Repair. Automate.
Convert mask or PCB layouts between GDSII, OASIS, DXF, DWG, Gerber RS-274X, ODB++, CIF, PDF, PostScript, SVG, PNG, and more.
Translate
Convert between 25 supported file formats with a single program. GDSII, OASIS, DXF, DWG, Gerber RS-274X, ODB++, CIF, PDF, SVG, STEP, IGES, and more.
View
Display drawings in the built-in hardware-accelerated CAD viewer. Zoom, pan, measure distances and highlight broken polylines. Requires the View option.
Repair
Merge overlapping polygons, join adjacent wires, auto-detect holes, fix self-intersecting polygons, convert quasi-circles and more. The conversion wizard closes open polylines during import as part of LinkCAD Basic; the interactive geometry tools need the Tools option.
Automate
Convert multiple files in batch mode or integrate LinkCAD in your workflow using the command line or Python scripting.
