 Hi,

 I'm using the below constraint in the vcar rules file  before exporting. The VCAR is placing single via while routing.

    list( '("tsmc18rf" "M2_M1" "symbolic") t)

But I dont know the rule to keep double contact/via in the router .Please help me.

 

Thanks,

Siva

     Hi Craig,

    I referred to the use_via and use_array commands from the links that you have posted. My issue is solved now. I added these lines to my do file.

    select all nets
    define (group group1 (selected))
    circuit group group1 (use_via (use_array M2_M1 1 2))

    ##Standard Routing Command
    route 25
    clean 2
    route 50 16
    clean 4

    I was wrong with the rules file. Thanks for your response.

     

    Thanks,

    Siva
