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

  • Not sure I entirely understand the question, because it's like asking for the difference between fruit and apples.

    In both CDB and OpenAccess, various things are represented as "objects" in the database. For example, there are objects to represent shapes (e.g. rectangles, polygons, paths, ellipses etc), objects to represent instances, objects to represent nets, terminals, and so on and so on. Instances are a type of object. In CDB there was no specific object type for vias; vias were just instances. In OpenAccess however, instances are one type of object, and vias are another type - so there is now a specific object type for vias, thus separating them from ordinary instances (e.g. instances of devices, instances of other cellViews and so on).

    Hopefully that answers your question?
