[PCB_FORUM] Re: Is there any way to replace more than one via, but not all of them?

Hi Gary,

Got it, thanks!  It is certainly a non-intuitive way of doing it IMO.  I did
the changes I needed to do one by one...took all of ten minutes.  I haven't
tried the Skill script, but I'll try it out after I'm done routing (and
routing and routing...) this board.

Regards,

Austin

  Hey Austin,



  What Shahed is talking about is the procedure that I attached last week
(derived padstack).



  The basic idea is that you temporarily rename the group of vias that you
want to change.

  Then you can do a padstack replace.

  It's more or less a work-around for the shortcomings of padstack replace.



  Good luck,

  Gary

  Use temp group to select Vias you want to edit .In this case select Circle

  as Geometry. Then enter an arbitrary number for size in Width and Height.

  Autogenerate name or give any name you like.

  Now you have set of vias which you can change pad stack size in one shot.

  Hi Shahed,



  I looked at that, but it didn't make sense how to use to replace vias.

  Have

  you used it for that?  If so, how?



  Regards,



  Austin
