generating via at given point

Hi Raghu,

The first one clearly is a syntax error. I'm not sure why you think that should be OK - you're both passing "t_viaOptionsObject" (is that a variable?) plus no space for the next argument, square brackets around the next argument (which is used in the documentation to indicate that it's optional, not that it should be typed) and an ampersand for some reason in the list. You need something like this:

cv=geGetEditCellView()
tf=techGetTechFile()
constraintGroupId=cstFindConstraintGroupIn(tf "virtuosoDefaultSetup")
viaOpts=viaGetViaOptions(constraintGroupId)

You can then see the cutClass used using viaOpts->automatic->cutClass - you can then set that to say viaOpts->automatic->cutClass="bar"

Then  you'd just do:

viaGenerateViasAtPoint(cv 0.9:0.1 viaOpts)

or if you really need to override the layers used (it uses the layers present in the layout at that point to determine the size and layers for the vias otherwise):

viaGenerateViasAtPoint(cv 0.9:0.1 viaOpts ?topAndBottomLayers list("M1" "M3"))

For your second question about dbCreateVia, you don't directly specify the cutClass - instead the cutClass is just a way in the tech file of defining the set of parameters (particularly for the cutWidth and cutHeight, but also some of the enclosures too). So you'd need to find out the suitable rules for that cutClass and then create the via that way.

Regards,

Andrew.
