Transfer custom vias (variant) from a design A to a design B

 Dear All,

 Does someone know how to re-use multiple VIAs variant created and saved from a design A to a design B? I do not have technology right to save it in the PDK directory so apart recreating all the custom VIAs in the new layout window, how is it possible to re-use the work already done?

 Thanks for your help,

    In fact when you create your design library, you "reference" the technology library rather than "attach" it, the design library is also an incremental technology database, and so vias and constraints can be created there and accessible for all designs within that library.

    Alternatively you may be able to use the File->Load Physical View to import parts of another design (including constraints and other info) into the current design (this is a feature of VLS XL).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
