Hi
when i last looked at alliance / coriolis2, it had the ability to design "Cells" which could recursively be added to other "Cells", thus building up libraries of regular parts.
and, crucially, if a standard library is published, only the specification of the "Cell" needs to be known, *not* its contents.
i did not see anything in magic similar to this capability. did i miss anything?
Yes. You did miss "getcell subcell.mag" which allows you to insert multiple instances of a magic file into another magic file.
By selecting the inserted instance and after running "select area" you can even move it around by using "move x y"
