As you can see from the attached pic, I made a massive mistake in creating my vias (81 of them, in total) with a 2 mil diameter. How can I increase all my via hole sizes to 15 mils at once? Is there a special operation I can use?


Thanks!

What prgram?

It only takes a couple of seconds with the Pulsonix software that I use. I find the via in the Pad Styles table (Setup > Technology > Pads > Pad Styles) and change the hole size. Clicking on OK changes them all. Another way to do it is to select all occurrences of the pad using Find, and change the hole size using the Properties dialogue. That can be more useful sometimes as it creates a new pad, rather than modifying the existing pad.

In CADSTAR I would select the assignment setting for this via and change it, this would make a global change.

Or control select all the vias with this size then change their properties.

You must have a similar facility in your CAD package.
