If you have planes on the board, you may have to move the associated shapes off-board temporarily, as isolated vias tend to get associated with them and thus have a signal name associated. ________________________________ From: icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Peter Hughes Sent: Monday, February 06, 2006 8:43 AM To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Re: Purge Via List Hi Chandra, Looks like you are using Studio. One other way to delete unconnected vias is. Edit -> Properties Go to the Find Tab and in the Find By Name section Click More Choose Net as Object type Click All Click OK In the Available Properties Click on Fixed. Click Apply. You have now fixed all nets and their attached components. Now you can do a delete of vias over the whole board and any via that is not connected to a net will be deleted. Once you have deleted the vias, unfix the nets by following the same steps as above.
