How do I set up a Metal Library?
To create a new metal library, global or local, do the following:
Select Circuit => Metal Types
from the main menu of the project editor.
The Metal Types dialog box is opened on your display. This dialog box
allows you to add, edit and delete metal types for your project.
Click on the Library button to
edit your metal libraries.
This opens the Metal Library dialog box which allows you to create
metal libraries and to edit them.
Select the type of library you
wish to create by clicking on the My Library or Global Library radio button
in the Metal Library dialog box.
Once a library is selected, a list of metal types in the library should
appear in the dialog box.
To create a new library, click
on the Specify button to the right of the radio button for the library
you selected.
A browse window appears on your display.
Use the browse window to specify
the location and filename for the new metal library file.
The default name for a new metal library is metal-library.txt.
If you wish to name the library file something else, edit the filename
entry.
Once the desired location is specified,
click on the OK button in the browse window.
The browse window is closed and a new metal library file with no entries
is created at the location you just specified. Use the rest of the edit
controls in the Metal Libraries dialog box to create entries for this
metal library.
