stacked vias question

Have you tried Find by Query? Look at the Find pane and click on Find by Query. You can set the query to look for vias of a certain name, type etc. Once the query is created a list is shown of the items which will by zoomed to when selected.

thank u for ur response, steve.

unfortunately my desgin has separete padstacks for each layer.

for instance L12 padstack between layer 1 and layer 2 and L23 padstack for layer 2 and layer 3.

is there a way to combine 2 stacked vias as one padstack so that i can use ur method?

for instacne, combining L12 padstack and L23 padstack as L13 padstack?

regards

Yes in principle. You can use both AND and OR filters so set the Start Layer for one type and maybe the END Layer to something else using an OR filter and you should get the list you want. You will have to experiment with your choices but you should be able to achieve what you need.

the 'stacked_via.il' skill code that's downloadable from the support site isn't as fancy as the 'tbx findpadstack' command,

but it does report the stacked vias in the journal file...
