Hi, I need to manually add some vias in Cadence EDI. I used setViaEdit followed by editAddVia commands. Vias can be added, but not all vias are at the location I specified. What prevents the vias from being added at the specified origin coordinates? Thanks.
 

All routed metals must snap to the routing grid. Routing grids or tracks are used by place-and-route tools during detail routing. You can't form a via off-grid.

Thanks Yadavvlsi. I checked the coordinates. It's on grid point. What else can you think of? Are there other ways to add vias?

Also, whenever the via is off the specified location, EDI complains about "via is too small".
 

You can add vias using GUI also. Press 'o' and then F3 for via setting. If your metal width is large then you need wider vias.
