How to write a skll script that will continue to auto place vias as i click

CMO297

Hi All,

I'm looking to write a script that calls up the "auto" via menu and will allow me to keep dropping vias on metal intersections instead of finishing after one click. Does anyone know what the best way to accomplish this?  Please forgive me, i'm fairly new to skill.  your help is greatly apprcieated .

this is what i have so far?

 procedure(myautovia()

    hiRegTimer(
    "hiGetCurrentForm()->viaMode->value= \"Auto\"
    hiToggleEnterForm(hiGetCurrentForm() )" 1)
    leHiCreateVia()
    )

  • Options->Editor... Repeat Commands

    This refers to the Options menu in the Virtuoso Layout Editor, choose the "Editor..." menu item and a form will pop up. The top left option on the form is "Repeat Commands".

    To invoke the form with Skill, run this in your CIW: leHiEditEditorOptions()

    To change the setting using Skill code, run this in your CIW:  envSetVal("layout" "modalCommands" 'boolean t)

    To change the setting permanently in your setup, modify a file called .cdsenv in your home directory to have this line:
    layout  modalCommands   boolean t
