Text conversion

by anonymous - 4 Nov 2009, 14:06 CET

Hello,

I created a layout in the basic version with some text and found out, tha after converting the gds file to svg the text disappeard. Is it possible to keep the text after conversion? I've seen someting like converting to polygon but I could not found it in the basic version.
Thx!

Text elements are converted to SVG files. Probably it can not be displayed with every SVG viewer. Howevery it is correctly displayed with Inkscape and Firefox.
The feature to convert text to polygons is not part of the basic version. The full or reduced version is required.

Is there a possibility to change the size of text afterwards? I can only set the size of not yet set text but how can I do this for already existing text. I use the basic version.

Thx!

You will need the reduced or full version for this feature.

The LayoutEditor™ is a program to design and edit layouts for MEMS/IC fabrication and CMOS IC design .Designing these layouts require a high precision. In IC design a sufficient resolution and a possibility of a high scaling is required. The resolution of the LayoutEditor can be set in a wide range and is normally set to 1 nano meter. A higher resolution makes no sense due to atomar structures. With this resolution the LayoutEditor can draw elements up to 4 meters. In many IC design houses this is enough for IC/MEMS which extend usually less than 0.1 meters. The productions of MEMS/IC is done in many layers. For each of these physical CAD layers a belonging layer had to exist in the drawing. Additional logical layers are required for describing/naming purpose. So a lot of layers are needed. By default the LayoutEditor is limited to 128 layers. But it can easily be adjusted, if more layers are required. IC Designs often contain a plenty of repeating structures. Essential for micro fabrication of these designs is therefor a hierarchical design. This means, that the complete repeating structure only exists once in a single cell. These cell is then referred multiple times in the main drawing.
Beside the above mems packaging mentioned IC design fundaments it is important to have sophisticated functions to handle all drawing elements. The layout handler has all required functions: all basic design functions, all angle elements, boolean operations, macros, fontgenerator, design rule checker, mems tools, supported format: GDSII, DXF, OASIS, CIF.
