How to change via level with skill in IC6

Eric L14

 In IC6, I have a bindkey which change via level (via1 to via2) . Main part of the code is:

; Current selected via
viaToBeChanged=car(geGetSelSet())

; new via identifier
newVia=dbOpenCellViewByType( technName viaName "layout" nil "r")
if( newVia then
  viaToBeChanged~>master=newVia
)

Do you know how doing the same thing in IC6 ?

Thanks in advance

  • Andrew and the Cadence online guys, I just wanted to say these forums are a tremendous help, thanks!

     

    I have two questions about the stdVia.

     

    1) I see the ViaVariant in the techfile I want to use. How do I instantiate it in my layout using skill? I have tried  dbCreateVia() but failed to get the variant to work.

     

    2) using skill how can I take a seleted set of "M2_M1" stdVias and make them "M3_M2" stdVias? It looks very difficult. Do I really have to delete the selected item and dbCreateVia() using the same XY and params just to change the cut layer?

     

    Regards
