Via Doubler

Hi all,

I have a request from my layout group to come up with a quicker way
to
double a via on a route. Basically, we are routing with the path
command and with wires not wide enough for two vias one is placed at
transitions. (Is there a way to force the create path command to
make
a double via(it may need revisited to clean up)?)


Currently, the user is selecting the via to double and using
leHiEditProp(), filling out the form to grow the Row or the Column of
the via and hitting apply.


I would like to have some code where the user selects a via and could
"toggle" a double cut via by pressing alt v. Double row if user hits
the alt v once and and "toggle" to double column if alt v is hit
twice.

I can do this it appears with a replay file and the properties
command, but that
just wouldn't work as we have over ten PDKs here.

Is there another way? Maybe a way to manipulate the "pcell"
definition?

Any ideas or sharing of code that does similar to this would be
appreciated!!


Thanks,
Eric
