I am looking for a conversion program to convert from ...

Cadence APD Advanced Package Designer to GDS2
or
Gerber 274x to GDS2
or as a last resort
DXF to GDS2

APD is capable of GDS2 output but the conversion is not very good.
APD can only use rounded ends for traces and this does not convert well to
GDS2.
It require extensive clean up after the GDS is read in to Virtuoso IC layout
pkg.

Any help would be appreciated.
Please Email me directly.
