GDSII Export Options

User units

Specifies the GDSII user units, which is typically used to set the granularity of the drawing.

Precision

Some drawing entities don't have an equivalent in the other supported formats. LinkCAD converts such entities to polylines. This setting allows you to control the precision of this conversion. Either specify an absolute tolerance value or a fix the number of polygon vertices per full circle. Setting an absolute tolerance value is preferred because it dynamically adapts the polygon complexity according to the object size. Use a large precision value to limit the size of the polygons.

Font size units

GDSII text sizes are usually measured in microns. Change the units here if your design software uses different units.

Explode text into polygons

Check this option to instruct LinkCAD to include the converted text labels as polygons, not as text, in the converted file.

Flatten file structure

Check to "explode" all cell/structure references.

Split polygons and wires with more than 200 vertices

Check to have LinkCAD split large polylines into smaller ones, as required by the GDSII standard. See also the drawing design rules for filled areas.

Zero-pad GDSII file

Pads the GDSII file with zeros for compatibility with older GDSII readers.
