Neil,
I'm not sure about exporting gds2 into tiff, jpec or bmp but Artworks
inc do a translator for gds2 to Gerber which is excellent and
relatively cheap. The Number is 001 408 426 6163 and ask to speak to
Hagai or e-mail [log in to unmask]

We have found the software very good.

Cheers

I am trying to help a software engineer with sourcing a translator for a
gds format file.  Ideally the translator will allow exporting to formats
tiff, jpeg, bmf.

The source has provided dxf files.  However these files have outlines of
areas.  We have not been successful with doing fills, too time consuming.

The need is to have the gds in a file format that the programmer to write
their analysis software for.

Thanks for your help.
