Reply To: Calibre DRC crashes: Failure to read input file stdin.gds at record offset 282.

Dear Ronald,

When I exchange the WaveguideInClass by demofab.deep.strt calibre does not crash.

When I turn on the ascii boolean, the export_gds method crashes, even when there is only demofab.deep.strt objects being used. The error given is:
