Export GDSII options.
Note: Some CAD systems cannot handle GDSII files with large polygons (ie. point counts). If this is the case, you can define the Maximum Points per Polygon. ACE will automatically "chopped" into multiple polygons that do not exceed the point count limit. Due to its complexity, this feature may be time consuming during the conversion.
Note: GDSII files do not support composite layers (a layer with objects that contain both dark & clear polarities - such as a hole inside a polygon). ACE will automatically flatten these layers into re-entrant polygons. Due to its complexity, this feature may be time consuming during the conversion.
Export GDSII (Stream) Options:
Text Output:
|
Specify how to output GDSII text (if any): Standard: Text will be outputted as GDSII text. Ignore: Text will be omitted from the GDSII file. Explode: Text will be exploded, and output as polygons. |
Maximum Points Per Polygon
|
By definition GDSII Polygons can only handle a maximum of 200 points per polygon. If this setting is "checked", polygons with more than defined number of points will be "chopped" into multiple polygons that do not exceed the point count limit. (Due to its complexity, this feature may be time consuming during the conversion) |
Flatten All Cells:
|
Outputs GDSII files without any hierarchy. Useful for GDSII files that must be read into older systems, or 3d simulation software that does not support hierarchy. |
Assign UNIX Naming Conventions: |
Limit Cell names to 32 characters or less, and treat them with case-sensitivity. |
