ERROR (XSTRM-80048)

ERROR (XSTRM-80048): Parser: The 'XY' parameter of the 'PATH' record in the GDSII file 'XXX.GDS' contains an insufficient number of points '1' near the offset '33992'. Expected at least '2' points.

Could sb explain what the problem might be? I am trying to import a GDS file that I converted from DWG to DXF and then GDS.

    Hi Nik,

    It seems that it is not legal GDS.

    A PATH object is defined as a shape with 2 or more vertices and a width and endtype parameters.

    In this case there is only one vertex defined. To create a path correctly, the Cadence layout tools need 2 points.

    My guess is that the gds generated by the (AutoCAD?) tool is representing something that is not representing real layout (I.D markers?, dots?)

    There are various options to ignore bad data, but I think you may need to make sure that the original GDS has clean data before importing
