PLACE_VIA_REF places a via of type viatype on top of the specified reference, refname, in the instance called insname. This function may be used to generate many cells from a single one, in order to program decoders for example, or in conjuction with PLACE_SEG_REF(3) or PLACE_CON_REF(3) to translate virtual connectors into fixed ones. The viatype argument may take the following legal values:
PLACE_VIA_REF impossible : missing DEF_PHFIG" No figure has been yet specified by a call to DEF_PHFIG. So it isn't possible to place a reference inside it. you must call DEF_PHFIG before any other layout action. illegal getphins : instance insname does not exist" The instance called insname does not currently belong to the figure. illegal getphref : references called refname does not exist" No reference called refname exists in the model of the instance insname.
#include <genlib.h>

{
/* Create a figure to work on */
DEF_PHFIG("cell");
PLACE("gaci0_b", r1", NOSYM, 23L, 54L);
/* Put a reference */
PLACE_VIA_REF("a_0", r1", CONT_VIA);
/* Save that on disk */
SAVE_PHFIG();
