In the spirit of supporting open source software, I just wanted to recommend the very nice open-source program LayoutEditor, which can be found at http://layout.sourceforge.net/
It is small and easy to use, and it works natively with GDS (mask) and DXF (autocad) file formats. It shows you what the mouse buttons will do at any given instance, and it also can display your mask layers as a stack in 3D. It's available for Windows, MAC, and Linux. If you need a program to edit or display your mask files on your own computer, then this program is the best alternative to L-Edit that I know - see screenshots below. L-Edit may still have better DRC and geometry flag checking - which you can do when you're mostly done with your design - but I have exclusively been using LayoutEditor for years now with good success.
Best regards,
Sebastian Osterfeld
