Via conversion using leReplace command

As you can see on the Find/Replace form, it should be "width" and "length", not "cut Width" and "cut Length":

leReplace(cv viaList list(list("via definition" "==" "M2_M1") list("width" "==" 0.2) list("length" "==" 0.2)))

Thanks for the reply Andrew

It works fine now

But I have to get the database id of the newly created via, is there any way for that.

This isn't entirely trivial because the leReplace function doesn't return the new objects. If you'd use the underlying database functions to recreate the via, then it would have been possible, but if using the simpler leReplace approach, then you could do it this way:

; create a unique (hopefully) fig group to hold the vias you're going to replace (this uses the time to make a unique name)
fg=dbCreateFigGroup(cv lsprintf("vias%d" stringToTime(getCurrentTime())) nil 0:0 "R0")
foreach(via viaList dbAddFigToFigGroup(fg via))
; now do the replace
leReplace(cv viaList list(list("via definition" "==" "M3_M2") list("width" "==" 0.2) list("length" "==" 0.2)))
; the good news is that the fig group will hold the new vias:
newViaList=fg~>figs
; we can remove the temporary fig group
dbDeleteObject(fg)

A little bit of a trick, but it seems to work!
