I'm a very new user, any help/advice would be appreciated!
In what way is Electric "unable" to export GDS? Is it giving an
error message? Is it producing GDS that is incorrect?
Electric needs to know how to associate everything in the external
file formats (DXF, GDS, etc.) with things in its own database. The
DXF and GDS preferences handle this. One potential problem is that
DXF input creates "Artwork" objects in the Electric
database. However these Artwork objects are unknown in GDS, and so
you may export an empty GDS file. The solution (if this is what is
happening) is to set GDS layer numbers for the layers in the Artwork
technology.
