    hi, using dbGetTrueOverlaps(cv via~>bBox list("metal1" "drawing") 0:20) statement i assume it checks for the floating vias down the hierarchy of cells. I tried to use this kind of a statement to check for the floating vias but it is able to output the floating vias present only at the top level and not the ones that are present down the hierarchy.Please let me know what needs to be done in order to identify the ones that are present down the hierarchy --Regards
