there might be related info in a README file associated with some techfiles here: ftp://ftp.isi.edu/pub/sondeen/magic/new/README but as far as i can see, even with all header file constants at their maximum values, Magic cannot have more than 25 planes and 192 types in the techfile, most likely because of how planes/types are mapped into bit operations. (i cannot make a full SCN6M_SUBM.10.TMSC techfile for example (which wants 197 types). the bitops could be rewritten to use wider words, a small matter of programming, right? /jeff Prakash writes: > Hi all ( Tim, Jeff et al), > I was using MAGIC to do layouts in a > technology which needed me to have the number of > planes greater than 25 ( The cuurent MAXPLANES is > equal to 50 ) in the technology file and I found that > once I specify the number of planes equal to 26 or > more I am not able to Select a particular paint layer > in the layout.
