    Hi Veera,

    In IC613 vias are no longer instances but OA objects, so they have a different interface for creation.  Try the dbCreateVia() function in combination with something like dbFindViaHeaderByName() (or techFindViaDefByName(), or techFindViaSpec()) to obtain the via definition.  I'm not sure about changing one via placement to another, you may need to store the parameters from the original placement for use with the second?

    I hope that this answers your question.

    Best regards,

    Lawrence.
