I would like to generate the abstract view in order to do the Place and Route autmatically in encounter. However, I am seeing below error when I open the abstract tool with my layout. This error not only appears with my own layout, but also it appears with an inverter layout given by the gpdk library, so my guess is that I am missing to setup something. Wondering if you can provide some help?
ERROR (AB-231): There is no correctly degined default via for layer Cont. Ensure that the technology file includes a fully-defined default via for the layer in question.
As mentioned I am trying to generate the abstract view for an inverter layout, which is already in the library. So, I guess the tool should have the tech file correctly if they provide it, is it correct?
On the other hand, if they do not provide it, is it possible that you can provide a reference in order to see how to do it from scratch?

Tech files are something that you get from the foundry, you don't create it yourself. If you are using a commercial technology it should work flawlessly.
