I want to create a bindkey, suchthat by using up and down keys on keyboard , the number of rows and columns for a Via will increase or decrease.

If anyone know, how to do this one...please do let me know

 

Thank You

     Hi All, how does one find the via name, or the "via definition" in the via form? Also, is this information available in any of the IC6 documentation? I've tried vairants of the below, but no luck. Thanks!

    fig~>viaDefinition?

    fig~>viaHeader~>viaDefName

    Look in the Virtuoso Design Environment SKILL Reference, Database Access chapter, in the final section called Attribute Retrieval and Modification which has a section on the attributes of each object, including vias and viaHeaders.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Brian,

    If you do  Help->Virtuoso Documentation from the CIW, go to DFII, then Virtuoso Design Environment SKILL Reference, and then the section I mentioned before.

    Or open <ICinstDir>/doc/skdfref/skdfref.pdf and you can find the details in the chapter/section I mentioned before.

    We're going to be enhancing cdnshelp at some point to make it easier to open a provided reference (at the moment you can get the location in the HTML file, but not open something with that URL - at least not in a transportable way)

    Andrew.
