Opening GDS Files without Chip Layout Information, Image File, or McDonnell-Douglas Things Software Installed
Different software packages tend to sometimes share similar file types. Chip Layout Information, Image File, and McDonnell-Douglas Things are some of the popular programs that use the GDS file extension, so you should be able to use any of these three to open your file. You might even be able to find others by doing a quick Google search.
A word of warning, though. Be sure to scan any free software you download with a malware checker before running it on your computer.
If You Have Chip Layout Information, Image File, or McDonnell-Douglas Things Installed
If one of these software packages are already installed on your PC, but it still won't work to open your GDS file, you might have to check that the file associations are correct. Right-click on the file, select "Open With...", and then select Chip Layout Information, Image File, or McDonnell-Douglas Things. That will create an association between the GDS file extension and your chosen software.
Your GDS Might Be Corrupt
Finally, if you're still having issues opening your GDS file, download the file again or ask the sender to resend it. It's possible that your GDS file might be corrupt. As a last resort, contact the software developers to see if they may be of further assistance.
Here's a list of GDS-related software programs and their developers:
| Software | Developer |
|---|---|
| Chip Layout Information | Microsoft Programmer |
| Image File | Microsoft Programmer |
| McDonnell-Douglas Things | Microsoft Programmer |
