A GDS2 to ASCII converter (ascii dump) following the virtuoso 5.1 format. The main objetctive is to use Cadence Virtuoso 6.1, which no longer has an ascii dump, with the Matthew Beckler's cadence_converter tool to generate svg images from virtuoso layouts. It is also possible to use with any other gds file.
To compile:
make
To clean the folder:
