Lunacy is a full-fledged Sketch editor. Using Lunacy, you can create new designs. It’s a perfect tool for prototyping. You can add simple shape elements to your layout (such as drawing an oval, rectangle, line, or adding a bitmap) and drawing, aligning, and joining objects.

Freemium

Changelog

    FREE format:

    The default file format in Lunacy is now .free, which is almost fully compatible with the features from the Figma and Sketch formats. We designed .free to address the issues available in .sketch when it comes to very large design files.

    From the users’ point of view .free brings:

    Much lower file sizes, especially of files with thousands of layers, like design systems and similar.
    Up to 2 times faster saving and opening of files.
    We encourage developers to join the .free format community and integrate it into their products. The specification of the free format is available on GitHub under the MIT license.

    Key advantages of .free:

    Optimized for large documents.
    Human-readable JSON.
    Expandable file structure: a simple archive with JSON files and assets.

KLayout is an intuitive piece of software that is designed from the ground up to not only make it as simple as possible for you to view GDS and OASIS files but also to effortlessly edit them or actually build layout designs from scratch.

Freeware

Changelog

    Features:

    Enhancement: #1662 Strong default grids
    Enhancement: #1656 Display-->Goto Position dialog should accept + as well as - for number prefixes
    Bugfix: #1651 Errors when adding polygons with 4 points
    Bugfix: #1644 DRC: some issues with edge layers
    Bugfix: #1643 DRC: Feeding the same layer to two-layer operations in deep mode does not render the desired result
    Enhancement: #1638 let klayout marker browser read strmxor .. xor.gds.gz, xor.oas result files
    Enhancement: #1637 XOR optimization for prBoundary layer
    Bugfix: #1632 rdb python/ruby module: modifing items not possible as they are const
    Enhancement: #1598 LVS - Support for Soft Connections
    Bugfix: #1586 Refactoring transformation conversion functions for complex transformation
    Enhancement: #1583 Add possibility to customize main window title
    Enhancement: #1513 Update Qt version for Qt bindings to 5.12.12 and 6.2.1
    Bugfix: #1356 Instance Property form: Array Instance col/row would be more intuitive then the current row/col
    Enhancement: New ruler type "auto measure along edge"
    Enhancement: Trigger ruler measurement on mouse hovering transiently
    Enhancement: Min and max value bounds for PCell parameters in editor The condition is not strictly enforced - for example it is not checked when changing parameters programmatically. For that, use "coerce_parameters". Still, this feature is an editing aid.
    Bugfix: Pixel garbage in color selector button with "Auto" color selected
    Bugfix: DRC/LVS - connect_explicit did not accept an array of nets as single argument
    Bugfix: 'edge outside polygon' now consistently ignores the border of the polygon
    Bugfix: Warning level was ignored for some warnings in LEF/DEF reader
    Bugfix: Netlist reader: anonymous circuits are not checked for known parameters
    Enhancement: LVS - Supporting remote must-connect connections So far, must-connect connections had to be made one level up in the hierarchy or promoted further using labels and such. Now, must-connect connections can be made at any point up in the hierarchy.
    Bugfix: LVS - do not waste too much time analyzing failed matches
    Enhancement: LVS - LVS: Consider net names identical that differ in signal type suffix only - e.g. 'NET:I' is identical to 'NET'
    Enhancement: OASIS reader will produce layers that are listed in layer table but empty. Previously, empty layers were never created, even if listed in the layer table.
    Enhancement: Reading from HTTP streams and pipes now supports automatic .gz uncompression

    Enhancement: New DRC Features:

    "edges" method allows selecting convext/concave/step edges
    Interaction count for edge/edge edge/polygon "interacting"
    Improved handling of dots (degenerated edges) - these are now passed through the edge/edge and edge/polygon booleans and participate in "interact". This enables selecting corners and using them to select edges.

    Enhancement: New RBA/pya Features:

    Main window title: MainWindow#title (property)
    LayoutView#is_dirty?
    Triangulation: Region#delaunay
    Quality rasterizer: Region#rasterize
    Generic edge and polygon filters and operators support hierarchical processing with Python or Ruby callbacks: classes EdgePairFilter, EdgePairOperator, EdgePairToPolygonOperator, EdgePairToEdgeOperator, EdgeFilter, EdgeOperator, EdgeToPolygonOperator, EdgeToEdgePairOperator, PolygonFilter, PolygonOperator PolygonToEdgeOperator, PolygonToEdgePairOperator, TextFilter, TextOperator, TextToPolygonOperator Methods: EdgePairs#filter, EdgePairs#filtered, EdgePairs#process, EdgePairs#processed, same for Edges, Regions and Texts
    Polygon#split, Polygon#break, same for DPolygon, SimplePolygon, DSimplePolygon
    Keyword arguments for Python, Ruby and Expressions
    You can now also use "klayout" package inside the application (same code for Python module and application) - i.e. "import klayout.db"
    Synonyms: connect/disconnect for events for better compatibility with PyQt5
