switch layer when creating a path in 6.1.8?

fireonthesee88

I recall in older version of Virtuoso, 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.  In 6.1.8 this is missing from the command menu. 

Noticed there is a poster on this topic about 10 years ago (!!), the suggestion was to use Wires function instead. But cannot find such a "switch to adjacent layer" in F3 pop up window either. Not sure whether I am using the right function. Create --> Wiring --> Wire. Is this correct? Any suggestion?

Thanks,

    If using the Create->Wire command (P bindkey), you can use the right mouse button to via up or down, or hit the space key when in the middle of doing the wiring to switch to any other layer in the stack (and it will create a stacked via).

    It's not done with F3 (the old Create Path used to do it that way).
