Output gds in Encounter

bsdevlin over 14 years ago

Hi,

I am trying to export a gds from encounter. I cannot get the pin labels to be outputted with the GDS.

In my stream outfile, I have a metal layer M1L which I am using for pins. It is layer 11 in the techfile.

eg:

...
M1L ALL 11 0

...

So I add the following line to my steamout file:

NAME PIN 11 0

Which is as far as I understand what I should do to get the labels of my pins included in the exported gds.

But when I export the gds I get no text objects:

Is there some setting or otherway to get the pin text exported with the gds?

I figured out I needed to write:
NAME M1L/PIN 11 0
And now it works.
