detecting duplicated vias

masamasa

hello

i am trying to find a way to find duplicated vias (padstacks).

i have tried a skill program created by Mr. eDave but it did not work.

findDoubleHitHoles_public.il

    Can you send me a design with the problems?

    Thank you Mr eDave.

    Attached are the files.

    No, that is not a brd file as I do not know how to convert it to a brd file.

    Is the attached skill file working?

    I copy a padstack into the same location to make a duplicated via but your program does not detect it.

    See the latest version attached as a 17.2 context file.

    I don't know whether this will work with APD.

    Can you tell me how to use the context file?

    I have never dealt with a context file before.

    It seems there are some conext files at C:\Cadence\SPB_17.2\tools\SKILL35.00\context

    So I put your file there.

    Then what do I need to do?

    No. The cxt file should go in a 64bit folder in your skill path.

    Then run this in Skill:

    loadContext("findDoubleHitHoles_public.cxt")

    Can you tell me how to run loadContext("findDoubleHitHoles_public.cxt")?

    I placed the context file into the skill folder.

    It must go into a sub-folder named "64bit"

    Hello Mr. eDave.

    I found a solution to the duplicated via issue.

    Simply I needed to run "database check" under tool and it removes any duplicated vias automatically.

    Thank you for your help as always.
