How to change via level with skill in IC6

Eric L14

 In IC6, I have a bindkey which change via level (via1 to via2) . Main part of the code is:

; Current selected via
viaToBeChanged=car(geGetSelSet())

; new via identifier
newVia=dbOpenCellViewByType( technName viaName "layout" nil "r")
if( newVia then
  viaToBeChanged~>master=newVia
)

Do you know how doing the same thing in IC6 ?

Thanks in advance

Eric

    Hi Kathy,

    there is a function dbIsCellViewStdViaMaster() that may help, but there may be another way to approach the problem. In IC61x you can access the vias from the cellview database object, as well as the viaHeaders and viaMasters (and viaVariants) - perhaps you can come from one of these and check to see if the object in question matches?

    Hope this helps.

    Lawrence.
