How to search for vias with rows or columsn property in layout XL

 The attribute is cutRows, not CutRows.

Try this:

viaHeaders = setof( vh deGetCellView()~>viaHeaders
                                  vh~>viaDefName == "M5_M4"  && vh~>cutRows == 2 )

viaInstances = viaHeaders~>vias

Thanks for your skill code, Ted. I tried it, but it still return nill. Maybe I typed it wrong. I believed the results will be something like

db:0x0000x....How can I use that to select the vias in layout. I am not good at all about skill code.

Thanks,

There's a mistake in Ted's code - you can't do ~>cutRows on a viaHeader object. You can do that on a via instance, but not a viaHeader. So instead you'd need to do:

; take car, because there should only be one match
viaHeaders = car(setof( vh deGetCellView()~>viaHeaders
                                  vh~>viaDefName == "M5_M4"  && cadr(assoc("cutRows" vh~>overrideParams)) == 2 ))
viaInstances = viaHeaders~>vias
foreach(via viaInstances geSelectFig(via))

This will select the vias afterwards.

I think you should also contact customer support to request that you can specify cutRows/cutColumns etc in the search criteria for finding vias on the Find command (it doesn't work, because it's not a "property").

Kind Regards,

Andrew.

Thanks, Andrew. Your code works. But it returns only one match. Is it possible to return more than one match ?

I will try to contact customer support.

Sorry, I was being a bit stupid. I forgot you'd likely have more than one M5_M4 viaHeader with that number of cutRows...

Change the code to:

viaHeaders = setof( vh deGetCellView()~>viaHeaders
                                  vh~>viaDefName == "M5_M4"  && cadr(assoc("cutRows" vh~>overrideParams)) == 2 )
foreach(viaHeader viaHeaders
  foreach(via viaHeader~>vias geSelectFig(via))
)

Regards,

Andrew.

Hi Andrew,

It works perfect now. You're the man.

Appreciated,
