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?

    Please make the following changes in the ".cdsenv" file to achieve the desired.
     
    1)  layout contactDefFromTechfile boolean nil
