Replacing Via1 to Via2 per Bindkey in IC5.1

Laur9

Hi,

is it possible to replace from Via1 to Via2 with the help of some skill function, in Virtuoso Layout IC5.1 ?

I would like to select an already placed  via and change his via typ without to open Contact Properties Form.I don't want to change the other properties of the via.

I have already tried to get , per skill, the properties of the selected instances but I found no way to change the via ( contact type to be exactly) type. I used this code to try to do the work but Virtuoso not allows to do this kind of replacement.

 cv = deGetCellView()

foreach(i cv~>instances
        when( i~>cellName == "via1"
                          i~>cellName = "via2"
                ))

I am wondering whether there is a better way to perform it. Thanks a lot in advance.

Thanks for your help,

Regards

  • Andrew, could you help me with one last thing. Im trying to add bind keys to increment and decrement the amount of rows and columns in a selected contact cell.

     

    Im using...

    procedure(BSchangeVia2x1()
    foreach(fig geGetSelSet()
      when(fig~>objType=="inst"
          propValue = car(fig~>prop~>value)
          fig~>prop~>value=propValue+1
        )
        )
    )
    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Alt<key>KP_Add" "BSchangeVia2x1()")

     

    However this increments both row and column values. Is there a way to increment only the row value and leave the column value as is?
