How to write bindkey

I did a quick search in the community forums, and  found this post. It would also be worth saying which version of the software (as suggested in the Forum Guidelines) you're using, as vias are handled very differently between IC5141 and IC61 due to the change in the underlying database.

Regards,

Andrew.

 Hai Andrew,

                 I have seen the posts,attached you

                Am using virtuoso 6.1.4 vertion. Those codes were not executed. and shows like below..

changeVia2x1()
(db:0x1456d493)

 Please, let me know, any other suggestions

Thank You

As I said, vias are different in OA - they are not instances any more, but separate objects. Changing the code like this will make it a 2x1 via:

procedure(CDSIC61changeVia2x1()
    foreach(fig geGetSelSet()
        when(fig~>objType=="stdVia"
            dbReplacePropList(fig
                list(
                    list("cutRows" 'int 2)
                    list("cutColumns" 'int 1)
                )
            )
        )
    )
)

I'm sure you can use this as a template for your own requirements.

 Hi,

    I want to create a bindkey to convert M1_M2 via to M2_M3 via.

  please do let me know any suggestions .

Thank You,

You'd need to delete the original via (maybe capturing some of the key overrideParams from the viaHeader first) and then create a new one in the same place using dbCreateVia.

Thank you Andrew,

To know the position of the previous via, i wrote as below

point = fig~>xy

 I assigned the via with name "fig".

 But it shows  an error, "invalid parameter for the via definition".

is it right?

If wrong, please let me know suggestions.

Thank You,

T.Prasad

Try fig~>origin.

Depending on which version of 6.1 you are on, fig~>xy may not be available. Later versions of 6.1 allow you to use either. I've never understood why this was so inconsistent in the early versions.

Simple human oversight was probably the reason for the inconsistency. Remember that the db layer is a mapping from OA, and suspect the focus was on doing the mapping, rather than thinking about what other similar objects have inthe CDBA layer.

Andrew.

Thank you dmay,

             I have another doubt.

How to know the number of rows and columns of previous via.

I used as below

rows = fig~>Rows

and then, i want to use this rows          value for the new via.

but it shows, Invalid parameter for the ViaDef.

 please do let me know any suggestions.....

Thank You,

T.Prasad

If fig is a stdVia, try using cutRows:

fig~>cutRows = 3
