QIS

Artwork Conversion Software, Inc. delivers an excellent tool for dealing with large GDSII and OASIS files with its QIS software. The latest version, 6.0.53, offers robust functionality for handling these extensive database files.

QIS belongs to the broader Internet & Network category and specifically falls under Network Tools. This makes it especially useful for those managing large network files. The software comfortably operates on Windows XP, 7, 10, and 11, ensuring compatibility with a range of systems. If there's a need to access older versions, 6.0, 2.1, and 2.0 are also available.

Installation is straightforward, requiring one or more of the following files: Q5.exe, Q55.exe, Q6.exe, Q6Reports.exe, and qis.exe. These can be found directly on the developer's website. Artwork Conversion Software, Inc. has done an exceptional job ensuring that these executables are easy to find and install.

For those looking to download the software, it's pleasing to note that QIS is available as a free trial, providing an opportunity to evaluate its capabilities before making a commitment. The tool serves as a powerful GDSII/OASIS database server, enabling client software to display and manipulate data with a simple API. This efficiency is vital as GDSII and OASIS files expand, often exceeding 50 GB in size, making many other GDSII routines inadequate.

Pros:

• Handles large GDSII/OASIS files efficiently
• Compatible with multiple Windows OS versions
• Free trial available
• Comprehensive with multiple executable files
