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?

  •    Hello Andrew,

     I understand that a new discussion would be better but my problem is the same as explained one in this old topic and my message was a reply of  Babji one posted the 5th of february 2010.

     I will try to be clear.

    First, I use IC5.1.41.

    My question : Default via contacts are single when instanciated with Create Contact tool. Is there an easy solution to have automatically double via contact when instanciated?

    Solution : in this discussion, Babji suggested to make the following changes in the ".cdsenv" file.
    1) layout contactDefFromTechfile boolean nil
    2) layout contactColumns int 2

    So I did it from my .cdsinit and I have automatically double via but now if I change the contact type which contact spacing is different, the Delta X and Delta Y parameters are not updated to follow the technology rules.

    New question : is it possible to have automatically double via contact when instanciated with Create Contact tool without changing the other parameters that follow technology rules?

     

      Thank you for your help.
