With the Pulsonix application in this mode of operation you are only able to edit the facets of the design which make up the PCB technology file.
Why Use Technology Files?
The PCB Technology file is a file containing design items required in the ‘make-up’ of the design, e.g. Pad stacks, layers and materials, line styles, text styles, net classes etc. It defines the sizing and rules to be used.
Technology files can be used when creating a new design to provide a default set of properties from an existing file or those required to start a design based on given parameters. These files might be created based on the number of layers for different designs, or the manufacturing technologies used e.g. fine line SMT or more through-hole technology. Alternatively an initial design can be created using a core technology and Partial Technology files can then be used in Load Technology to add technology elements to the design to prepare it for different manufacturing technologies. For example, to add smaller spacings and track styles for fine line routing.
