You can add text the same way you draw the mask. Use boxes and dull_nut(hollow circle) and the other tools. Boxes is all you need. nimo ________________________________ From: xiaohui.linTo: mems-talk Sent: Thu, June 24, 2010 4:26:39 AM Subject: [mems-talk] TEXT in mask design Could anyone suggest how to add text when drawing mask in autocad? I just need numbers 0-9 without fine detail. I used the text function in AutoCad, but when tranferring dxf to gds using linkcad, the fine feature of text is explained in great details which increased the file size to almost 100MB. 2010-06-23 Lin, Xiaohui Ph.D. Program in Electrical and Computer Engineering Nanophotonics and Optical Interconnects Group Microelectronics Research Center The University of Texas at Austin E-mail: xiaohui.lin@mail.utexas.edu Office: (512) 471-4349
