🎀 GDSIICONVERT(1) 🎀

okay bestie, this is the manual for GDSIIConvert, and it is about to be so helpful 💅✨

✨ NAME ✨

GDSIIConvert — convert GDSII geometries and report geometry statistics 📊

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

GDSIIConvert [options]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

ngl this tool is lowkey a whole vibe 🦋. It's a command-line executable that reports statistics on GDSII geometries 📈 and exports them to other file formats, notably including the GMSH geometry format (http://gmsh.info) 🌸.

For converting to GMSH format, you just run:

GDSIIConvert --GMSH myexample.gds

✨ OPTIONS ✨

Output formats

  • --raw — a raw dump of the file data records 🗂️
  • --analyze — a detailed listing of the hierarchical structure 🌳
  • --GMSH — exports the GMSH geometry to FileBase.geo, and text strings go to FileBase.pp 💜
  • --scuff-rf — writes a .port file defining RF ports for scuff-RF. It implies --gmsh 📡

Other flags

  • --MetalLayer 12 — defines layer 12 as a metal layer. You can pass this multiple times 🔩
  • --LengthUnit <mm> — sets the output length unit in mm. Default = 1 📏
  • --FileBase <basename> — sets the base name for your output files 🏷️
  • --verbose — makes it chattier and produces more output 🗣️
  • --SeparateLayers — writes separate output files for objects on each layer 🧁
