How to streamout a gds and will have an output that is flattened

Hi,

I need a flattened GDS output from a stream out in IC6.1.5, the usual output of the File>Export>Stream is a GDS file with Hierarchical information.
Can anyone tell me how to have an output gds file which is in a flattened state?.

Thanks...

Hi Lawrence,

sorry i forgot to mention.. I need it to be executed in command line only, so maybe a use of skill code or etc...
Thanks,

Joren,
The same approach as described in the solution could be used from the command line - it uses a trigger in the User Defined SKILL file - you'd pass this to strmout with the -userSkillFile command line argument.

Hi Andrew and Lawrence,

Looks like the skill script can only flatten into limited levels only... when i tried a bigger block which has a no. of levels, it did not flatten down to the lowest level... Do you have suggestions or inputs?..

thanks in advance...
