Blockage with type "viaRouting" not visible in Virtuoso Layout

kb how
kb how over 11 years ago

Hi,

By reading from Cadence Documentation, noticed that dbCreateLayerBlockage, the function actually support blockage type "viaRouting", but "viaRouting" is not available in Create->Blockage Object->Blockage Type list.

When i created blockage and specify the type to "viaRouting". The blockage is created successfully with return blockage_id but the blockage is not able the see in layout (invisible in layout view).

dbCreateLayerBlockage(geGetEditCellView() "VIA2" "viaRouting" list(0:0 0:2 2:2 2:0)) 

 

My question is:

1. Is blockage with "viaRouting" type supported in Virtuoso?

2. Is YES, how can i enable the visibility of this blockage type? How to add viaRouting in Blockage Type list?

 

 Thanks in advance.

    It is under the "Object Assitance" dock, "Blockages -> Routing Blockage" and there your vias should be listed.
