Knowing associated TECH-FILE location

RFStuff

 Dear All,

I have installed a main stream PDK in my Cadence enviornment.

While creating a new library, I associated the techfile corresponding to this  PDK.

Is there any way to know the location of the tech file. 

The document of the PDK days that the tech file is obtained by compiling a  xxx.asc file.

 Is there any way I can know which .asc file the tech file is compiled from ?

Kind Regards,

     Thnaks Andrew, for your reply.

    I am little bit confused with the answers. so let me put the things in step by step manner :- 

      When we create a NEW library through Cadence (IC5141) CIW -> xxx_PDK
    -> Library -> Create Pull Down , it gives -options as - a) Compile a
    New Tech File b) Attach to an Existing Tech File.

    In previous PDK-case, we choose option b).

    Existing Tech file, means there is a single file somewhere in the PDK library path.

    I want to know where that Tech File exists ?
