Export - GDSII

This command requires a GSDSII Translator License.

Select File - Export GDSII when you want to create and save a GDSII file of your circuit geometry. A browse window appears, in which you can specify the directory and filename to which you wish to export the file. Once you select the location, the Export Wizard appears on your display. Follow the directions in the wizard to export your project.

Warning: You should be aware that when a DXF or GDSII file is imported to Sonnet, any structures that are not modeled by Sonnet ( polylines, circles, and 3D structures for example) are discarded. If the file is converted back to one of those formats through use of the File ⇒ Export commands, those structures are NOT re-introduced to the circuit.
