The NETEX MGR Command Line

netexgmgr <job_file> <output_file> [options]


options:
========

-outtype:gds_cshape    output is in ASCII
    or
-outtype:gds_stream    output is GDSII Stream
    or 
-outtype:dxf           output is DXF
			

-wdir:<dirpath>        working directory where temp 
                       files are written.

-maxpts:<num_points>   maximum number of points of a 
                       polygon in the output file.

-arcres:<resolution>   number of degrees that a chord 
                       spans when converting an arc 
                       to segments.


-arcsag:<sag>          the max error between the chord 
                       used to approximate the arc and 
                       the arc itself.



-smoothing:<smooth>    minimum distance (in Gerber units) 
                       between adjacent vertices of a 
                       polygon. Vertices that are spaced 
                       closer are removed.

-loutput               use Leonov polygons when needed for 
  or                   "islands"

-cutlines              use re-entrant polygons when needed
                       for "islands"
  or
-nocutlines            break polygons that would form 
                       islands into two or more butting 
                       polygons.

-partition:<factor>    (only used with -cutlines) divide 
                       the data into partitions and 
                       specify the number of partitions.

-sliver:<width>         delete tiny polygons with less 
                       than the specified width 
                      (units are Gerber input units)
			

-batch                 create batch file to run the extraction.
                       don't execute the batch file. This would 
                       be useful only to someone investigating 
                       the engines behind the netexgmgr.

netexgmgr.exe          program name

art2_job.njb           name of netex job file 

art2.gds               name of output file 

-outtype:gds_stream    type of output file

"-wdir:E:\My Files\output"  location of temp files

-maxpts:16000          max points per polygon

-arcres:15.0           arc resolution

-arcsag:0.25           chord error

-smoothing:0.2         smoothing value

-cutlines              output polygons with cut lines

-partition:2           divide problem into two
                       partions.
 
-sliver:0.1            remove any polygons whose size
                       is less than 0.1.
