Exporting Layout Data
Using the File > Export command, you can export layout data using the following file formats/types:
- On physical layers such as silkscreen and signal layers, property displays are drawn with Hershey fonts and possess a constant size. These property displays are exported from the Ansys Electronics Desktop (AEDT)TM electronics systems design platform to GDSII, Gerber, and DXF formats.
- On non-physical layers such as symbol layers, property displays do not possess a constant size — they are scaled during zooming. As a result, property displays on non-physical layers do not export from AEDT.
To export layout data:
- From the File menu, click Export. Then select the type of file to export to open an explorer window.
- Select the file format you wish to use and click Save.
If you select Ansys Neutral or Microsoft Enhanced the file is saved. If you select a different format, one of the following window opens:
