THis function allows you to select several vias using multiple selections and group and then replace them with a different via.

    Hi Andy,

    In my particular situation the only way I was able to get the replace
    via skill program to work was to add the new via name I want
    to replace the existing vias in the board in the Constraint Manager
    via list. When I did that I did not get any more warnings about fixed
    properties. It also did not matter if I had checked the library box in
    the padstack pop-up or not. I checked the vias in my board and they do
    not have any fixed properties attached to them.

    Let me know if you can duplicate the error I'm getting if the the new
    via you want to use is not in the board database and not in the
    constarint manager via list but only in the library database and you
    have to check the library box in the padstack popup.

    thanks,
    Gino
