gds file with electrical layers

lra

Hello,

I am using xic for schematic capture and LVS/DRC, which stores the schematic in some gds layers. trying to import the layers in Klayout. I changed the lyp file .. the electrical layers from the xic gds file don't show up and a Klayout write to gds file don't include the electrical layers.

Thank you.

If you have no technology defined and no .lyp loaded
(clean start) then streaming in your gds file would
import every found layer/purpose pair.

Now you can inspect for those "xic" layers, and you
could save the layers to a new .lyp for "friendliness
editing". Then you can make that the root of a
"Technology" (to keep handy) and export should
just write out a file same as came in.

Try that out and see where (if) any problem lies.
