export .gds file

 i want to ask a question, when i try to export .gds file from virtuoso, the gds file always produces a wrong layer number. 

For example, if the gate layer should be numbered to 2, but i get 2.10 from the gds file. 

if the metal-1 layer should be numbered to 3, but i get 3.10 from the gds file.

thanks for your reply, what is wrong in here?

    Hi,

    Bernd is right, the GDS stream layer number and datatype number are possibly being displayed together, though they both will be integer data type, so perhaps 3.10 = metal1 drawing and 2.10 = poly drawing and this is just how the layer number and datatype are being displayed?

    Hope this helps!

    Lawrence.
