Importing GDS data into Virtuoso DF2 and keeping hierarchy

caldon

Hello,

I have a GDS with hierarchy in place. When I've imported the GDS into DF2, all that hierarchy is lost and I just get flat polygons. I want to keep all that hierarchy.

Is it possible to import the GDS from the top cell to create the hierarchical cells and keep all the relationships? If so, can you show me how?

Thank you!!

    This is quite tricky to do, as there isn't really an option to flatten on import. Perhaps somebody has defined some post-translation hooks similar to the way described in this article: XStream In: Is there a way to flatten top cell layout during File Import Stream?
