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

  • Dear Andrew,

    First of all I would also like to say that I agree with the thank you statement of Vaughn.

    Just to answer to you that we do not use -viamap in cdb2oa. We were not aware of that. I guess using it would simplify our scripts which currently search also among the regular design instance objects to extract the vias and translate them into stdvias objects. Usign -viamap I guess, would convert via instance objects to customVia objects which are more easily detectable and convertible to stdvias than instances.

    I would also like to add that as Vaughn  suggests in 2), it would be a great help if there was a skill function to transform a via object just by changing its viaDefName while preserving the remaining parameters thus avoiding to delete and dbCreateVia() of a clone of it.

    Best regards,

    Antonios
