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

I have a small piece of Skill code that does exactly what you want (including group mode). 
Let me know if you would like it. (It may only work in 15.7 and above).

Cheers, Dave

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
