Does GDS contain prBoundary information?

Hi,

Will a cell’s prBoundary be present in the GDS after streaming out the layout.oa view? If yes, will it be stored as a normal polygon on the mapped GDS layer/datatype, or will the actual prBoundary object information be preserved?

Thanks.

    There's no dedicated structure in the Stream (aka GDS) format, so you can use the object map file in the stream out UI to map it to a layer/datatype combination - and that can be mapped back the other way for stream in.
