Can anyone tell me where I can find in a via dbid where it stores the "Part of a via stack: 9 (TOP to BOTTOM)"

Hi David,  Thanks for the quick reply. I tried axlDBGetConnect(

It seems whether I use axlDBGetConnect( or search in via_dbid->?

it returns the same 

parentGroups symbolEtch branch pads definition
isMirrored isThrough name objType parent
net rotation mirrorType startEnd testPoint
xy readOnly bBox prop fixedByTestPoint
pluralVia relations

I did a 'show element' on a via that's part of a 'via stack', then issued a few skill commands, the journal file entries are shown below:

Yes, now I see it. axlDBGetConnect( branch/startEnd will get the next via(s) in the stack. Run the same on that via, on so on. Eventually you will get the range of the entire stack.

Thanks a lot!
