Generating vias of the overlap metals of the same net

Tejaskill

Hi all,

I want to generate vias for metals with overlap of the same net (May be Highlighted using leHiMarkNet())
For example, in my layout, there exists a situation where METAL1 and METAL2 are overlapping and connected to each other from a different point on the layout and there is no via at this overlap. 
Can anyone suggest me scripts to achieve this?

Thanks, in advance.
Teja.

    Do you have access to Virtuoso Studio 23.1? The new Via Assistant offers great new functionality to find and add missing vias on overlap.

    Alternatively; 'Auto' on the 'Create -> Via' options is also an option.
