Starting with version 0.15, KLayout is also an editor that allows to change GDS and OASIS files and create them from scratch. See the release notes and the editor mode quickstart manual for a more detailed description. With version 0.22, parametrized cells became available in KLayout.

A schematic editor, 3d viewer and interfaces to autorouter, extraction tools, circuit simulators, photomask service are integrated in the user-interface.

Start KLayout in viewer mode for an accurate and fast viewer for big mask layout files. It can read GDS2, OASIS, DXF, CIF, Gerber, LEF/DEF and other formats.

It will also register itself as handler for file types ".gds" and ".oas" and other related formats. If the installer is executed from a normal user account, it will install itself for that user only. No particular rights are required in this case.

KLayout is a free, open-source GDSII viewer and editor. It is available on several computers in the nanoFAB design area, but may also be downloaded and installed on any user’s own computer. This is the recommended GDSII editor/viewer supported by nanoFAB staff.

Glade (Gds, Lef And Def Editor), is a IC layout and schematic editor capable of reading and writing common EDA formats. With built in DRC, extraction and LVS you can generate and verify schematics and layout in a single customisable tool.

The LayoutEditor is a sophisticated software to design and edit layouts for MEMS/IC fabrication. It supports GDSII, OpenAccess, OASIS, DXF, and more file formats. The full manual of the LayoutEditor, the SchematicEditor and LayoutScript is located on this site.
