How to ignore some minor dots in streaming out the gds file

SUEE

Hi

Please do me a favor.

I am comparing two gds file using dbdiff and then Calibre RVE.

In the result I found many differences come from the many small tiny dots in the layout. These dots are tiny but seem to be still generated by the gds stream out process. So my question is, how to stream out a gds without these tiny dots ? 

How to setup the minimum shape size to be streamed out? Or say how to filter/ignore tiny dots/shapes ?

Thank you !!

    You could do the comparison with PVS (the Cadence Physical Verification System). Of course this is assuming that the difference is due to the comparison - I'm guessing wildly here in the absence of seeing the data for real.
