A summary of via types in my layout hierarchy

stuso

Hi Guys, in IC6 is there a way to get a summary of all via types used in my layout, down the hierachy. I'm not interested in how many of each type is used i just want to know if its used.

Looks like the layout tree does not contain via info.

I'm thinking that i could stream to gds and then manipulate the PIPO.log to get via list or that i could use skill to identify the vias, but i just wondered if there is a faster or more elegent solution.

Cheers

Stu

    More direct is:

    cv~>vias~>viaHeader~>viaDefName

     

    If you want to collect this over a hierarchy, you'd need to do a recursive traversal of the design hierarchy (pretty simple to do).

    p, li { white-space: pre-wra
