[comp.lsi.cad] Calma Plotting

rll@linus.mitre.org (Roberto L. Landrau) (05/31/91)

Does anyone know if there is a utility to plot CALMA GDSII files in a
Versatec plotter?

The IC editor software that I am currently using (ICED, IBM PC)
generates both CIF and GDSII streams.  I can upload the CIF file to a Sun 3
or Sun 4 workstation and then run cifplot to plot on the versatec.
The problem is that ICED does not extract any labels when it creates a
CIF file.  I believe there that CIF does not support text explicitly.
I know GDSII does.  If I had a CALMA plot utility that I could run on
the Sun then I would be able to plot all text and comments too.
Does anyone know about such a utility?
