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?

    Thanks Babji,

     

    I tried your 1st code. i guess there's missing something, it's not working.

    I relpaced "libName" - "our libName" (where the via is) and "via2" - "MT_AM" (which is the via i wanted to use)

    I also added this bindkey to the code: 

    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Shift<Key>i" "dbCreateSimpleMosaicByMasterName()"

     

    Your 2nd code,

    same thing, i changed "libName" - "our libName" (where the via is), viaName - "MT_AM" (which is the via i wanted to use).
