switch layer when creating a path in 6.1?

linbo

 In 5.x Virtuoso software when creating a path, the command menu (F3) had an option to switch to an adjacent layer and would plop a via down at the junction.  You could keep digitizing the path.

 

In 6.1.x this is missing from the command menu.  Is this functionality still available?  What command do I use to get to the switching?

 

Thanks,

    You need to create wires not create paths. Wires are significantly more advanced than paths - they use pathseg objects and understand the rich set of process rules for the vias etc. They also support having the vertices and edges on the manufacturing grid for 45 degree segments (which is impossible with paths).
