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

Hey Austin,

 

I sent it a week ago, on the 14th.

 

If there is a skill code that works with more than a window (temp group
picks), I'd go with that.

Hi Gary,

 

Not if you sent it today.  If you sent it to me some time ago, I can
check my inbox and a few other eMail folders for it...

 

Thanks!

 

Austin

        Austin,

         

        Did you get the "derived_padstack.doc" word doc that I sent you?
It's a little involved, but will get you where you want to go.

        Hi,

         

        I want to replace more than one and less than all vias.  In
tools/replace, if I use padstack replace, I can select a via, and there
is a checkbox for single instance, or if not checked, it replaces them
all.  When in single instance mode, I can't do multiple selections (not
surprising, after all, it is called "single instance").  Is there a way
to use the selection box to select a group of vias, or some other way of
selecting multiple vias and changing them to a different via padstack?

         

        15.7.

         

        ..and I've gotten bitten by not checking single instance mode,
and it changes all the instances of that via...and there is no undo!
So, I have learned to save often when replacing vias...

         

        Regards,

         

        Austin
