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

Hey Austin,

 

Yeah, it's not at all intuitive, but it does work.

If you have a bunch of vias to change, and a window will not work, it
might save you a little time.

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,
