II.1. Start here first - subsequently, start Section II.2, below.

(a) From the top EE650 directory, invoke Cadence by typing:

layoutPlus &

(hint: be patient). A rectangular window should appear.
Position the mouse cursor into this window and its color should lighten.

(b) When the menu bar appears, hold down the LEFT (L) mouse button
on "Design Manager", and release on "Library Browser..."

(c) In the "Library Browser" window,
with the MIDDLE (M) mouse button, hold on "EE650" and release on
"Properties..."

(d) Also from the "Library Browser" window,
with the MIDDLE (M) mouse button, hold on "EE650" and release on
"Change owner ..."
In the owner window, change from "rommel" to your user name.

(e) In the "Properties" form window,
scroll down until you see a "dmiFilepath" box.
Edit this entry to list your path - for example:

/m/eeug/"yourname"/EE650/EE650.lib

or, instead it may need to be:

/m/eeuc/"yourname"/EE650/EE650.lib

To check on your path, from an Xwindow type either "pwd",
or else type "cd", then "cd .."
the response should indicate the path (e.g. /m/eeug/ ).

Click on "OK" with L to close the window

Hints: you may need to move the "Properties" window to be able to
use the scroll bar - do this by clicking on a blank region of your
Xwindows screen and use the "Move" command.
You may need to experiment with the path;
Type in your own name, not the word "username".

(f) in the "layoutPlus" window
with L, choose "Open" -- "Quit"
(see Section II.(f) below).
Restart Cadence, and your path should be set up properly.

II.2. Entering the file library

(a) Invoke Cadence as in II.1(b).

(b) When the menu bar appears, click on "Design Manager" with L,
and release on "Library Browser"

(c) In the "Library Browser" window, when the
"EE650" appears, click on it with L.

(d) When the file names appear,
click on "scratch" with L.

(e) When "layout" appears, hold down on it with M and release on
"Edit". This opens an "Editing" window containing a blank space with
grid points on one micrometer spacings; and it opens an "LSW" window
containing a table of layers of different substances.

II.3. Experimenting with layouts. Example: making an oxide region.

(a) In "LSW", click on "oxide1" with L.

(b) In the "Editing" window, click on the "Rectangle" box -
this is on the left hand side, second from the bottom.

(c) On the blank grid, click on your first entry point with L, and
then your second entry point. The oxide rectangle will appear.

(d) on the keyboard, press the "Esc" key to finish the command
(else it will continue in rectangle mode)

II.5. Saving Files
