I have a drawing in dwg format that contains regions and not polylines. I am trying to convert it to GDSII format using LinkCAD. But since the drawing contains regions it somehow ignores certain sections. Using Autocad explode & Pedit seems to add extra random lines where polygons are present. Any work around to fix this?
Hi. I 've never worked with GDSII files, but I understood that regions are not a good object to use in GDSII format, so you convert the regions to polylines and after this convert the file. Ok? You say that after explode regions extra overlapped objects are created. Try OVERKILL command in AutoCAD to eliminate duplicate and overlapping objects. You can not explode the regions to create the polylines. Use the BOUNDARY command and click inside the region to create the polyline. Make a specific layer for new polylines. Try these procedures. Best regards.
I suggest you, to save your file in .dxf (Drawing exchange file) is a file accepted by any CAD system (this is an ASCII file). Thereafter import your file. Be careful to compatibility issues of versions, because you might losses given in importing your file
