Details

cellname_style

Define how the GDS cell name should look like
There is no standard on this, so a few flavors are available in the xsl. If not set, it defaults to a default.

cellparameter_style

Define how the GDS cell parameters should look like
There is no standard on this, so a few flavors are available in the xsl. The preferred setup is TABLE_ASSIGN which has the parameters in a single text element in the cell.

cellport_style

Define how the GDS cell ports should look like
There is no standard on this, so a few flavors are available in the xsl. If not set, it defaults to a default.

polygonSize

Normally a value between 1000 and 7000; a GDS record is maximum 64kB, so the maximum is just below 8000.
If this is not set, in OptoDesigner we use 6000. Type pdaGDSinteger documentation:

wireSize

Normally a value between 1000 and 7000; a GDS record is maximum 64kB, so the maximum is just below 16000.
If this is not set, in OptoDesigner we use 6000. Type pdaGDSinteger documentation:
