Exclude Layers from Export_GDS

[Daneel]

Hello,

the software of our EBL System shows errors with the PIN and PIN description layers (layers 1001 and 1002).

Is it possible to use nd.export_gds and exclude some specific layers (in my case layers 1001 and 1002) to not show up in the final GDS file?

Thank you for your help.

Dear Daneel,

You can apply a layermap dictionary upon export, like {old_layer: new_layer}:

import nazca as nd

points = [(0, 0), (5, 0), (0, 5)]
nd.Polygon(points, layer=1).put(0)
nd.Polygon(points, layer=2).put(5)

nd.export_gds(layermap={1:5}, layermapmode='none')
#nd.export_gds(layermap={1:5, 2:None}) # layermapmode default = 'all'

The layermapmode keyword sets if you start the mapping with all layers removed (‘none’) or all layers still in (‘all’). In the commented out export_gds line I noticed that layer 2 exports to Nazca’s “dump-layer” 1111/0 (Nazca-0.5.3). It is better to have None-mappings removed completely though and I will adapt that.
