The electrical mode grid spacing and snapping values provided must define a snaping grid on one-micron multiples, or the settings will be ignored (and defaults used). This is to eliminate the possibility that numerical roundoff errors will prevent electrical connections from being recognized. Although it is possible to set non-micron snapping from within Xic for repair of old files, non-micron parameters will not be written to a new technology file when using the Save Tech command in the Attributes Menu.
If the style value is 0, for a ``dots'' grid, a second integer
will be read if present. This value can be 0-6, and represents the
number of pixels to light up around the central pixel in the four
compass directions. The ``dots'' can appear as brighter dots or small
crosses, as set by this integer. This integer is ignored if style is nonzero, and is taken as 0 if absent.
Default: 0xcc (hex)
