@Tim 'mithro' Ansell
can you help me figure out what mask is the top layer of MPW-3 - both files on your system and green label on the mask box

@carlfk
- The top layer would be the pad frame, what you probably want is the top metal layer which is what is the most visible thing?
1:22 a.m.
@carlfk
- That mask would be MM5 I think?

"Not generated yet." did you hit Generate or should I hit it?
2:24 a.m.
I hit it - requested — the worker renders one mask at a time; this page reloads every 15 s.

What is the interesting mask for MPW3?

I'm pretty sure the sky130-masks tool says where each mask is now?

I see that now - I thought I was getting 3-8, or 3-something but maybe that changed once someone tried to pull it from storage?

is this GFMPW0 #4 == mpw-004 ?

- I'm sure you know how to use image magic or gimp to make a smaller version of an image. You have a whole pipeline which does stuff like that.

That is why the US paper format is bad -- with the A series, you can just rotate them by 90 and put them next to each other.
