Using the ImPLANT-I Generated Macros

The Design macro files generated by ImPLANT-I are text files, and can be examined and edited in a text editor, if you wish.

The macro files can be very big and slow to import into design, particularly if the dgn files is large, or contains many elements which translate into polygons or polyhedrons. Importing the macro files from the command line without graphics or tracing can make the process faster.

There is an example of this in the test folder installed with ImPLANT-I (by default ...\ImPLANT I2.3\Test\input_tests_to_PDMS.txt). This macro should be run from the Monitor Command line:

dev tty

design

trace off
