THe linkcad i mentioned is in two types linkcad for standard cad based products and "linkcad for ansys" sse thsi link www.linkcad-ansys.com. Anyway i will keep playing around with it, i have been trying all of the above named formats that you mentioned. I heavily use solid works and inventor however the reason i was looking at link cad is that when i bring in a sinple 2d drawing in iges format for example some of the paramerter and lines get distorted and are not where they should be. I have found in the past the i would spend as much time tidying up these errors as i would just drawing a new part itself. i was really looking at quick way to bring alot of 2d drawings from the gdsII format. googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1406030293255-2'); ); Red Flag This PostPlease let us know here why this post is inappropriate.

In this example, we convert the image into a 1-bit black-and-white image using the free software GIMP, and then convert to a Vector format using the free software InkScape. Then we correct the scale and convert to GDS using the free software KLayout., which is then ready for exposure on the MLA.

Some AutoCAD users may prefer to manually trace an image because they believe that it is not possible to achieve a high degree of accuracy with conversion software. This is due to the vast difference in conversion accuracy offered by the available JPG DWG converter or other conversion software (most notably, the poor results provided by online converters). In almost all cases, the far better option is to automatically convert your image to AutoCAD format and then manually edit the file to get that final 1% accuracy if required.
As the GDSII stream format is a de facto standard, it is supported by nearly all EDA software. Besides the commercial vendors there are plenty of free GDSII utilities. These free tools include editors,[3][4][5] viewers,[6] utilities to convert the 2D layout data into common 3D formats,[7][8] utilities to convert the binary format to a human readable ASCII format[9] and program libraries.[10][11][12]
To my knowledge there is not something to convert directly from PDF to GDSII, however, you can search for a converter from PDF image to XPM. Andrew wrote an XPM importing script to create a layout. Once you have the layout you can create a GDS file. You might not find a way to go directly from PDF to XPM, you might need to go via another format (e.g. I saw a PDF to TIFF converter).
My first thought was Artwork Conversion Software - but I don't believe they have anything that goes from PDF to Stream format (aka GDSII). That said, I did find a few companies that provide a PDF to DXF (an AutoCad format) converters - just do a google search for "Convert PDF to DXF". And Artwork provide a tool to convert DXF to GDSII (I think you can also do it with the Allegro PCB/Packaging tools too).
