[Magic-dev] Artisan Libraries

[Jeff Sondeen]

well, if the cells are on a .005 um grid, say, and you made a techfile
using that grid as well as incorporating the relevant design rules,
then you could certainly do it, except where legal spacings allow for
diagonal distances, but magic only allows orthogonal distances (so
magic flags an error where none really exists).  you could get an idea
of the pain from the README's under
ftp://ftp.isi.edu/pub/sondeen/magic/tanner_pads_ported_to_magic/

your pain would be more evident, tho, when drawing gate lengths
(widths) of, say, of 36 lambda (.18/.005).  maybe you could hide that
with the new major/minor grid stuff, but i believe you'd prefer to use
cells more friendly to magic.
