Lab description:

The program defaults to a grey background color.

Changing it to a white background will make the printer use less ink.  This can be achieved by going to menu item Window -> Color Schemes ->
 White Background Colors

 We will now set Electric up for use in ON Semiconductor's C5 process and fabrication through MOSIS.  This will be done by navigating to
 File -> Preferences -> Technology -> Technology to get to the window below.

The scale (lambda) for the C5 process is 300 nm using the MOSIS Scalable CMOS submicron design rules.

We can set the scale by navigating to File -> Preferences -> Technology -> Scale and set mocmos scale to 300 nm.

Now we can draw the schematic of a resistive divider.  

Go to Cell -> New Cell, enter the cell name R_divider and select schematic

as the view.

In the Component menu there is a box with a box containing a resistor and the word "Normal."
 Click on the arrow in this box to place it in the design area.  Fit it into the window using the
 zoom buttons.

Edit the properties of the node by selecting Edit -> Properties -> Object Properties to edit
the properties of the node.
