The creation of customVia failed

Adam Kubacak
Adam Kubacak over 7 years ago

Hello all,

I'm trying to put another via on the top of an existing one (here called "obj") by this command:

dbCreateVia(obj~>cellView techFindViaDefByName(techGetTechFile(obj~>cellView) "M2M3") obj~>origin obj~>orient list(list("cutRows" 2) list("cutColumns" 2)))

It worked well in several technologies but not in the actual one. Now I'm getting this warning:

*WARNING* (DB-220810): dbCreateCustomVia: The creation of customVia with a cdsGenViaDef is not supported.

Shall I use a different function to do that? I've already spent some time investigating, but without success.

Please, can anybody give me an advice? I use Virtuoso 6.1.7.

Adam

    Adam,

    There isn't any SKILL support (as far as I know) for creating instances of such cdsGenVias. I found a few CCRs saying this and this is still a project to be completed. No plans to complete it either...

    I think they're relatively rarely used as a consequence.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Hello Andrew,

    that's bad news, but thank you very much for clarification!

    I'll try to find out why this rare method is used.

    Best regards,

    Adam
