    Are you aware of the "Auto Contact" switch in Create->Contact (IC5141) or the "Auto" mode of Create->Via in IC61X? Does this avoid the need to write SKILL code?

    For babji's suggestion, you really need to have a via present already (otherwise it would end up detecting all M2/M1 overlaps, and obviously many would probably be separate nets). If you're going to have to place a via anyway, why not just use the auto mode to place the right number of vias in the first place?

    Regards,

    Andrew.
