How can drop an auto via?

ssram

There is an existing option in layout to drop automatic via, but this isnt completely automatic, i need to access it through the Creat Via form like "Create->Via->Auto->Hide". But how can i avoid accessing this form itself? I just want to press a key that calls the function to create the auto via and then just by clicking on the metals in layout, it should just drop the via.

  • Hi Andrew,

    Thanks for the quick reply and sorry that I forgot to mention I am using IC6.16 -64b version.  I tried the middle click and it works perfect. the only problem is I have a roller type middle mouse button so it rolls if I use it as push button.  I am talking about the option when you are already in via mode "auto"  there is sub option to choose between "by Single Point"  or "by Drawn Area".   By default it is on by Single Point  so I would like to shift it to "by Drawn Area" so I can still use my LMB to draw the selection box (That's how I believe it would behave but I'm not sure though)

    But this is sub option inside of another option so it might not be directly accessible via leSetEnv function.
