How do I get spacing rules from the techfile tables?

VaughnR

Sorry if this is vague but I am limited in what I can say.

 I have a techfile with orderdSpacings and tables. I want to find the proper via and contact minSpacings.

I want four arguments and all the tables are confusing me because I have no corrilation betwieen table values and what they represent. Basically I would like to pull the following from a generic techfile table.

list("CA" "drawing")

Min_con_spacing - minimum contact to contact spacing on same net.

Min_array_con_spacing - min contact to contact with more then one contact in both x & y.

Same for vias list("V1" "drawing")

Min_via_spacing

Min_array_via_spacing.

Many thanks if you can help me.
