The translation file (translate_old_acs.mst) can be configured to use 96 cards to set the layers and/or it can use the lot names to form the layer name.

96 Records
Setup the translation file like this.

String,96,,,,,,,,

This tells the program to check for 96 records in the .DAT and .STR files and to use the name on the 96 record to place all subsequent 04 record strings onto that layer. In this example, lots 1,2 and 3 will be placed onto layer “Layer961”.

    96Layer961
    041           L          104  220  230  229  104
    042           L          220  221  231  230  220
    043           L          221  222  232  231  221

When reading 04 strings, the program will check if there is an active 96 translation record and use that, if none it will try for a standard translation using the translation file as described above in Reading Old ACS Jobs

04 Records
Setup the translation file like this.

String,04,,,,,,,,

This tells the program to the 04 records in the .DAT and .STR files and to use the string name as the layer name.

    04LOT1        L          104  220  230  229  104
    04LOT2        L          220  221  231  230  220

The translation file must be setup as follows:
String,L,,,LOT1,,,,N,
String,L,,,LOT2,,,,N,
When reading 04 strings, the program will check if there is an active 04 translation record and will then check that the string name is a legal layer name and will use that, if none it will try for a standard translation using the translation file as described above in Reading Old ACS Jobs
