The value contains the required via spacing.
Units: DBU
The following parameters are supported by this constraint:
| Name | Value Type | Units | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| oaDistanceWithin oacDistanceWithinConstraintParamType |
oaIntValue | DBU | (Required) |
The constraint applies only if the common neighbor is < distanceWithin from both cuts. |
| oaCenterToCenter oacCenterToCenterConstraintParamType |
oaBooleanValue | Boolean | False |
If this parameter is set to True, distances are measured from the cut center else distances are measured from the cut edge. |
