Introduction to Technology Editing |
![]() |
The editor works by converting technologies into libraries of facets, allowing you to edit the facets to make the changes, and then translating these libraries back into technologies. These technology libraries use elements from the Artwork technology to describe their information. Special commands from the Technology menu aid in the manipulation of these libraries.
There are four types of facets in a technology library which describe the layers, nodes, arcs, and miscellaneous-information. The layer facets all begin with the name "layer-" and each one defines a layer in the technology. For example, the facet called "layer-Metal" defines the metal layer. The node and arc facets correspond to the primitives in the technology. Their names always begin with "node-" and "arc-". The miscellaneous information facet is always called "factors". Any other facet in the library is ignored.
