Cannot write array references with more than 32767 columns or rows

How can I config to allow this?

    You are right, I tried to build an array of array : it does not work as it seems that there a maximum size.
    Mathias, do you know where is the limit ?
    WLNE : what is the max size you are trying to reach ?

    here is the wired part. It is not very repeatable error. I did not even have more than 1E5 cols or rows. It was 5000x5000. And today I tried again, it works OK now. I even tried array of array: 5000x5000 array as a cell then 10x10 array of that cell. It can actually save the GDS. I have no idea why this error pop up from time to time. This is kind of annoying.

    Hi,

    sorry for the late reply ...

    There is an inherent limit in GDS which does not allow more than 32767 rows or columns. The format allows 65535 when dropping compatibility constraints. But that's it.

    You can try to save to OASIS - there is no such limitation for OASIS files.

    Matthias
