Chapter 16 Vias and 3-D Structures<br />

first create a via in your circuit, then modify its properties. For example, you have<br />

a four level circuit with an existing via polygon which extends from level 1 to level<br />

0 as shown below.<br />

Level 0 Level 1 Level 2<br />

If you want to modify this via such that it extends from level 0 to level 2, you<br />

would do the following:<br />

1 Right-click on the via polygon on any level on which it appears.<br />

A pop-up menu appears on your display.<br />

2 Select Properties from the pop-up menu.<br />

The Via Properties dialog box appears on your display.<br />

To: Level<br />

drop list<br />

3 Select “2” from the To: Level drop list.<br />

The via originates on level 0 which you do not wish to change. Selecting 2 from<br />

the drop list changes the via so that it goes down to level 2 instead of level 1.<br />

Notice that the number of levels is updated from 1 to 2.<br />
