leHiCreateVia

Hi,

     I am facing an issue while placing via in layout. when I press 'o' in layout window it will execute 'leHiCreateVia' function and gives me an option to create via. If I create via this way by default all the layers are in 'drawing layer', whereas in pdk they are mentioned to be in 'logic layer'. If I create via by instantiating it by pressing key-i all the layers are in logic layer. Is there any way to change the layers to logic by default when i press key-o to create via.

Thanks,

Aswani Kumar.

    Hi Kumar,

    you should not use the "i"  ( Create instance ) for creating vias, please always use the "o" ( Create Via)  command.  I don't know your PDK or the information
    you are referring to, but the vias you create with "o" are taken from the PDK as well, so they should be save to use.
