not able to create via in clone

Hi 

  I am trying to create via inside clone using the command dbCreateVia(cell_id obj_id obj_origin obj_orient v_params)

Inside clone, but it is creating in the cellview not inside the clone.

    Hi Adrian,

    Now that you've done it here, let's keep it here. I could split the posts, but there's a risk it might break.

    Anyway, what you need to do is this, assuming you have the figGroup in a variable called (say) figGroup:

    envSetVal("layoutXL" "disableVXLSynchClonePopUp" 'boolean t)
    leSetEditFigGroup(figGroup)

    this will push the edit in place into the fig group, and the first line will stop the popup appearing asking you if you're OK with editing the synchronous clone.

    Having done that, Layout XL will take care of synchronising the clones. Note this will only work if you're actually in Layout XL at the time, but it avoids the need for you to interactively have to edit anything.

    You can use leReturn() to pop back out of the edit in place.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
