Hello, cristiangy.
The sourced for DXF and GDS export are in
com/sun/electric/tool/io/output/DXF.java
com/sun/electric/tool/io/output/GDS.java
In DXF I found such issues:
1) Methods DXF.writeDXF(Cell cell) doesn't write primitives at top level
cells (line DXF:155).
If you have 1-cell design then it is possible to create a top-level cell
which instantiates your cell and
output the top-level cell.
2) writeDXFCell(Cell cell, boolean subCells) doesn't write arcs
3) writeDXFCell(Cell cell, boolean subCells) write only some artwork
primitives
are primitives form other technologies with FILLED shapes.
rcmos contacts have DISC shapes so DXF doesn't output them.
GDS file has the limitation that it writes discs as boxes (line GDS: 518).
Also you need to define GDS layers in "File|Preferences|IO|GDS" dialog.
It seems that HPGL output can writes DISC shapes
If you are intersted in writing rcmos technology in particular format.
you can fix the source code and we will be glad to see your contribution.
