setting for auto via to place vias despite existing cut shapes

linbo

 It seems 6.1.x is getting more and more like Microsoft and Windows, trying to "help" us in ways that we don't neccessarily need help.  OK, here's another request...

 

When I have the via placement form "Create Via" set to "Auto"  the tool won't let me place the via cell if there are already via cells (of the same intended type) existing in the area. 

 

How do I turn this functionality "off," meaning, I want to place the vias anyway.

  • Hi Lin,

    There's a new via form (currently in engineering release, so not enabled by default) in IC615, which allows creation of vias by area (amongst other things), so that could be an alternative way of doing what you want.

    However, I get your point. Please log a service request and explain the above - it is a good reason for wanting to allow vias in a region which already have them.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
