How do i Change the number of rows & columns of a customVia in IC6.1.6

GirishBS181

Hi all,

I am using IC6.1.6.

I am writing a code to increase & decrease the number of rows & columns of a customVia


Can someone please help me with the code.


I am able to access the number of rows & columns by using the dbid :  css()~>viaHeader~>overrideParams

1. How can I force the value of rows & columns to change to a specific number.

2. How can i change the number of rows & columns of a via by using the arrow keys up.down,right,left buttons.

                                 if i press up bindkey twice the rows should increase by 2(Similarly for the down button rows should decrease)

                                 if i press right bindkey twice the rows should increase by 2(Similarly for the left button columns should decrease)

Thanks ,

Girish

  • I dont use the overrides. Here is what I use for stdVia and customVia. I wrote it to be portable to other scripts is why it works on one via at a time.

    procedure(viaMod(obj xNum yNum)
    let(    (row col tmp
            (flipList '("R90" "R270" "MYR90" "MXR90"))
            )
    cond(   (member(obj~>objType '("stdVia"))
                            if(obj~>cutRows then
                                    row = obj~>cutRows
                            else    row = 1)
                            if(obj~>cutColumns then
                                    col = obj~>cutColumns
                            else    col = 1)
                            when(member(obj~>orient flipList)
                                    tmp = xNum
                                    xNum = yNum
                                    yNum = tmp)
                            obj~>cutRows    = max(row+xNum 1)
                            obj~>cutColumns = max(col+yNum 1)
                    )
                    (equal(obj~>objType "customVia")
                            if(obj~>row then
                                    row = obj~>row
                            else    row = 1)
                            if(obj~>column then
                                    col = obj~>column
                            else    col = 1)
                            when(member(obj~>orient flipList)
                                    tmp = xNum
                                    xNum = yNum
                                    yNum = tmp)
                            obj~>row        = max(row+xNum 1)
                            obj~>column     = max(col+yNum 1)
                            )
            ); end of cond
    obj
    ); end of let
    ); end of viaMod
