Any Way to identify double hits (Via)?

Alice
Alice over 16 years ago

If  on the same net DRC, due to the stack via design. Alot of DRC will apply also.

Is there a way to identify this issue? Pls advice.

 Regards,

Alice

    hello dave

    thank you for sharing the file

    i have tried to use findDoubleHitHoles_public.il but it does not detect duplicated vias (padstacks).

    does the holes mean vias or padstacks?

    It's checking holes in pins and vias that are in the same, or nearly the same, position and the start-end layers of the holes are the same.

    I'm having trouble as Allegro PA3100 16.6 SP115:

    W- *WARNING* context read failure: can't read 64-bit context on 32-bit platform
    E- *Error* loadContext: context I/O failed - "findDoubleHitHoles_public.cxt"
    Starting new design...  

    17p2 s061 gives me:

    *Error* loadContext: could not open file - "64bit/findDoubleHitHoles_public.cxt"

    I need to keep 16.6 running until Mentor Graphics updates their translator to Expedition/P*DS to deal with the padstack changes, etc.

    Sorry about the 17.2 question.  I found that my 64bit folder copy of the cxt file didn't go through.  Now it works.

    Does anyone have a 32-bit cxt file that works for 16.6?
