      if you are making a device that the techfile doesnt
    expect but that device is still a legal structure (doesnt
    break any foundry DRC's), you might have to make changes
    to the techfile.  what techfile are you using?  do you 
    have the DRC rules for the foundry you will use?  if 
    there is no NDA problems i can help you hack out an 
    "exception" to the techfile so you can draw this thing 
    out :)
