Digital Custom Placer Via not placing

KhanAmir

Hello everyone,

I am designing a decoder using custom digital placer. I did power ring and was in process to place vias. But it is not placing Vias but showing the attached lines in the CIW window. I think I have configure everything right. I am also attaching the powerpin.il, in case it has some problem. There are two warning which I think is not important as I am not using that via type. I am using Metal1 to MetalF (F=4) vias. I will highly appreciate your help.
