Merge via arrays

Hi Blankman

Several tips:

Make your values variables. (0.08/0.13)/2) is repeated at least 8 times, if you have to change the value, it is a lot of excess editing.

Reopen the cellView in "s" (scratch) mode and you won't be prompted to save it and don't have to manage the extra figures you create. You can close it without saving it and the data will only be changed in VM and not on disk.

Flattening takes lots of time. You can copy the shape up through the hierarchy faster than flattening, but if you are using the scratch mode tip, that should not be an issue.

You could get rid of small rectangles after your layerTile. You have to be careful that you always have at least one to make the connection.

If you are not greatly concerned with the area of the vias, you could make an approximation rectangle or set of rectangles which are enclosed in the polygon. You have to traverse the point list (Do it clockwise (left edges -> up, top edges -> right, right edges -> down, bottom edges -> left for the digitally inclined)). Start from the lower left corner and you can break up the figure into your own set of tiles to create the largest rectangles, they may not completely cover the shape but will give an approximation.
