Skill to change Via

KarthikJaiho

 Hi all,

           I am at Beginner level in Skill code.  We tried a code to change the via by using Skill funtions. The code is as follows,

 procedure(CCFchangeViaDef(ViaDef1 @optional (listOfviaDef geGetSelSet()))
  foreach(viaDef listOfviaDef
    when(viaDef~>objType=="stdVia"
        viaDef~>viaHeader~>viaDefName=ViaDef1
    )
  )
 
)

hiSetBindKeys( "Layout" list(
list("Alt<key>1" "CCFchangeViaDef(\"M2_M1\")")
)
)

 

But it shows the following error:

Error* setSGq: (DB-370034): dbSetq: Cannot set attribute - viaDefName.

 

I am using IC615. I dont know how to rectify this error. So, Please help me on this.

 

Regards,

Karthik.

    Karthik,

    You can't change the viaDefName for an existing viaHeader (assuming that worked, it would change all matching vias in one go, but it's not supported). As I pointed out in your other post (which referenced another post), to change the via from one via type to another, you have to recreate the via. I also suggested contacting customer support.

    Kind Regards,

    Andrew.
