maintaining the pcell structure in a gds

Hi!!

 I have always experienced that when i strmout a gds and stream it in again, the pcells get flattened and the pcell instantiation becomes a cell. Furthermore, the submaster gets converted into a cell master. how do i fix this problem.

    Hi Adhil,

    It is unlikely that you can convert the new individual masters back into Pcell instances - if the Pcell instances were recorded with the parameters and their values you might be able to do it, but this could be very tricky to reverse.  So to keep Pcell instances as they are, use the Keep Pcells option.

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
