command to check vias on macros (RAMS)

Hi

can any body tell me, how do we ensure that vias are formed on macros.

I mean is there any command or any way to check vias on Macros because checking for vias manually is a time taking work.

  

Thanks

     Suraj,

      I don't know of a way to do this within SoCE, however there should be VIA DENSITY decks available for your favorite DRC engine (Calibre, Hercules, etc.) that can assist in finding places where there is a metalN/metalN+1 overlap that does not have a via.  While not specifically looking at macro interfaces, it should identify missing vias over macro pins.
