Hi Alexandre,

It looks like you are using the "convert technology to library" feature
here:

https://staticfreesoft.com/jmanual/mchap08-02.html

The error message you're getting seems to be a bug in LibToTech.java,
emanating from this line:

error.markError(null, np, "No highlight layer found");

I could try to fix the bug in LibToTech, but I don't know if that's
such a great use of resources. The skywater130.xml technology is
generated by a Java program; you shouldn't edit the XML file with a
text editor or with LibToTech. You should edit the Java code that
generates the XML file instead. It's much easier to read because Java
code can factor out repetition using loops and subroutines; XML can't
do that.
