I am trying to find and replace all VIA5 that are single row with double row keeping the column of via same as before. One of those via has 1 row and 9 column, whose name is MT_M5_sym_2. I have to change it to 2 row and 9 column.
I was going to try this solution which I found in cadence support.
# Specify the via to replace with
setViaEdit -create_by Geometry -auto_snap 1 -cut_layer VIA5 -cols 9 -rows 2
# Query to determine via master cell name that was created:
dbGet head.vias.name EDI_*
# Query to verify MT_M5_sym_2 exist
dbGet head.vias.name
# Replace the via:
editChangeVia \
-from {MT_M5_sym_2} \
-to {EDI_*} \
-area ...
But,
encounter 120> dbGet head.vias.name EDI_*
0x0
It doesn't return any name. Any suggestions?
What other ways would you recommend to achieve this via replacment.
Thanks a lot.
