Single Via Contact to Double Via Contact

zeroskills

Hello,

Our default Via Contact is only single when instanciated, is it possible to have a skill code that can be attached to a bindkey that when a Via Contact is instanciated, it will be doubled?

Instead of using Window or Bindkey - "Create Contact" to double or multiple contact by changing Row or Column, is it possible to have a code when used with a bindkey automatically call a M1M2 Via Contact 1x2?

    Siva,

     I don't know about adding a constraint before starting the router.  I load a ".do" file in the router to make the routing of all of the nets use a 2x1 via array.  The do file contains the following command:

    select all nets
    define (class allnets (selected))
    unselect all nets
    circuit class allnets (use_via (use_array M2_M1 2 1))
