Virtuoso: Over-riding Techfile's VIA Justification?

    Hi all,

    For some reason the via-justification in our techfile is set
    yBias="bottom", xBias="left." This simply won't do for most Virtuoso
    commands which work best with the origin located at "center/center." What
    is the best way to change the default?

    I've looked for environment variables, and I've tried to hack the
    contact-bindkey by adding le0ContactForm->[xy]Bias->value="center" behind
    leHiCreateContact. This works, but only on the second invocation of the
    command, and only if the "autovia" button is NOT active. It's a pretty
    poor solution.

    Should I copy the contact-definitions from the Techfile and change the
    xBias/yBias fields? Can I get away with taking all the other default info
    out and only redefine the xBias/yBias fields, or would my definition
    over-ride the project Techfile?
