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

Dear Ronald,

The code you provided indeed behaves the same as before: it runs when instantiate is false, it does not when instantiate is true.
When I put wg.put(flip is true), calibre runs, even when instantiate is true.
When I open a crashing gds in klayout and do a “save as”, Calibre does not seem to crash any longer.

I’ll run calibre on the re-saved gds files. Hopefully you can track down the problem, so I do not need to insert too many manual steps

Thank you for looking into this problem! I’ll keep you posted should the problem re-occur.
Andreas
