Boolean Operations in MarkNet file

Betoo
Betoo over 1 year ago

Hi everyone,

I want to use markNet to check metal that is in the "background".  The layer in the attached photo is a metal etch layer, so the background is actually where the metal is. I think I need to create a dummy layer somehow. It looks like "geomholes" may do the trick but I don't know how to incorporate Booleans in the MarkNet file. I would like to click on the background inside the layer shown and the "hole" be used for metal checks. 

 I can use SKILL or assura to generate a dummy layer, place it in the layout and then do the check on that, but I would like to avoid that if possible. Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks,

Beto
