How to convert metal1 to metal2

 Hi All,

  Is there any way (skill code) to convert the metal1 to metal2 in Virtuoso Layout Suite. I will select metal1 in the layout and using a BindKey, can I convert it to metal2 or viceversa??

I am using Layout L Suite and Cadence Virtuoso 6.1.4. version. 

Thanks in Advance!

Thanks,

Baig.

    geGetSelSet()~>layerName="metal2"

    will do it. This will take all selected shapes and change the layer name to "metal2".

    Regards,

    Andrew.
