how to access via parameters (IC5.1.4)

Hi All Cadence Specialists,

I have a slight problem in my code so I would appreciate very much if anyone can help.

I am using IC5.1.41 and my code is dealing with Contact/Via

part of the code is to extract some values like delX, and delY, I did not create my own form for inputs like this so I just reuse the internal form "le0ContactForm". My problem is, if I have just started my icfb session, le0ContactForm->delY->value returns nil, only when I use the create Contact function that the value becomes available. My assumption is that the fields in the "le0ContactForm" are set to nil and will only be initialize once you press the bindkey "O" (for create contact).

Is there any possible work-around with this?

In IC6.1 I know I can acces this by techid~>viadDefs~>params

Is there a similar way to do this in IC5.1.4xxx?

best regards

lrlsk
