Getting the techfile's via

Anyone who has a better idea of getting the techfile's via?

I tried this but its too slow.

lxGetValidViaDefs(techGetTechFile(geGetEditCellView()))

Thanks.

    I'm surprised it's slow. In my case it returned 541 viaDefs pretty much instantaneously. You can reduce the number it returns by giving the constraint group you're interested in - for example:

    lxGetValidViaDefs(geGetEditCellView() "virtuosoDefaultSetup")

    If you want to get all of them, you can also do:

    techGetTechFile(geGetEditCellView())~>viaDefs

    but I'd be surprised if this was any different in speed to lxGetValidViaDefs (I didn't check to see if lxGetValidViaDefs is doing anything else when given a techId).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
