Issues adding bindkeys for double vias

blankman

Hi, I am having difficultiy adding combination bindkeys for adding double via cells. The skill code I am using is below.

The problem I am seeing is when I execute for example "Ctrl<key>1, <Btn1Down>" it creates a horizontal met2_met1_b cell in the layout window as it should, however when I then attempt to execute  "Ctrl<key>2, <Btn1Down>" it creates a met2_met1_b cell again when it should create a met3_met2_b. The same happens for "Ctrl<key>3, <Btn1Down>" "Ctrl<key>4, <Btn1Down>" "Ctrl<key>`, <Btn1Down>" until I switch to creating vertical vias with "Shift<key>`, <Btn1Down>". The process then repeats itself depending on what the first vertical via type I entered was, if I am being clear.

Is there a workable solution to this? I am using Cadence 5.10.41

Thanks in advance.

  • Hi blankman, Try using orientation R90 for vertical via placement. eg. hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Shift`, " "leCreateContact(geGetWindowCellView() \"met1_ply1\" hiGetPoint(hiGetCurrentWindow()) \"R90\" 0.22 0.22 2 1 0.47 0.47 \"center\" \"center\")") This should work fine I guess.
