  I want to create a gerber file from HFSS. I am exporting the HFSS in .gds and then importing it in ads and then exporting to .gbr. But I cannot create a N/C drill file from hfss.

  Exporting into N/C drill format is available in HFSS 3D layout.
  Please try importing your model into HFSS 3D layout and then you can create N/C drill file from there.
  All the very best.

  But I have another confusion. I will export each layer in HFSS separately (also vias) in dxf format and import all layers in HFSS3D and export the combined model? In that case I will have to export in .gbr file, but that will not include N/C drill file. Also I see I cannot export in .ncd (N/C drill) format. It cannot be saved in any folder. Please help. Thanks!

  Hi, Related to this question....
  Is there a simple way to export the HFSS model copper layers to HFSS 3D for ultimate gerber export? Currently I am exporting each individual copper layer to dxf then reimporting into HFSS 3D to export as gerbers.
