Add via to a design using SKILL

BinduSripad

Hello everyone,

Does axlDBCreateVia() add the via to the design or it just creates the via? If so, what is the command to add the created (new) via to the design?

I have the following code to create new via using an existing padstack and connect it to net1:

new_via = axlDBCreateVia("pad_stack1", 3030:3045, "net1")

But these print commands display nil

printf("New Via Name: %L\n" new_yvia->name)
printf("New Location: %L\n" new_via->xy)
printf("New Start and End layers: %L\n" new_via->startEnd)

Thanks,

Bindu

  • Hello,

    It does create a via. But return value of the function axlDBCreateVia is a list if successful or nil.

    So try via1=car(via) and then print the values.

    For example in final.brd that I have I created

     a = axlDBCreateVia("VIA", 1150:1950, "vd4")

    return value or a was (dbid:239002504 nil)

    a1=car(a)

    a1->name gave result as Via.

    Thanks,
