Single Via Contact to Double Via Contact

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?

      Hello,

     Searching how to have automatically double via with "create contact" tool, I found this forum and your solution. I've added the two lines as you explained and now I have automatically double via. Very good solution and easy change.

     But now, if I instanciate a M2M1 contact and then a M1Poly contact which contact spacing is different, the deltaX and Y are not updated as before. For information, the width and the length are automatically updated.

    Is it possible to have both automatically double via and the delta X/Y updated automatically?

       Thank you for your help.
