SKILL function for auto contact

    Can someone please point me to the SKILL function used to invoke the
    auto contact feature (i.e. create via -> auto) in Virtuoso? I would
    like to use this function to automatically insert vias instead of
    doing it by manually clicking where I want the auto via to appear.

    If there is no such public SKILL function available, can some of you
    experts please give some suggestions how would I go about coding such
    a function myself. I'm thinking of using dbLayerAnd, dbGetOverlap etc.
    to find the intersection area, but I'm not sure if I can traverse the
    hierarchy and get the net of shapes underneath the intersection area.

    Any feedback will be greatly appreciated!
