finding vias

ahmetozsoy

Hi all,

Is there  a skill program that shows all the vias and via positions? This is because if I want to change a specific via type to another via type I could not manage to find where the via is. This is useful when you use some blind vias and convert them to thru-hole type vias to decrement the cost. In allegro editor reports the tool has the capability to say that there are for ex. 35 items used  for   via_thr_02_30x30 ( name of the via) but could not say its position.

Thank you.

Ahmet OZSOY

     Hi ahmetozsoy,

    You may also find an Allegro SKILL program on SourceLink called hps.il useful. It will display a form that lists all padstacks (including vias) and drill by their name. If you click on a padstack or drill name, all instance will be highlighted and the total number of instances is displayed at the bottom of the form. Perhaps not quite what you're looking for, but I think it's worth mentioning.
