Animate Preview uses the Technology library for all of its design-related information. This document shows the information Animate Preview reads directly or generates from that. 

The design rules supported by Animate Preview are limited to those in the current technology library (OpenAccess Definitions 22.43.p022).  These rules and definitions have some limitations; as such Animate Preview will work within those limitations.
