Changing via types

TH Designs

Lets say I have a net on in a design that is already routed using the default via assigned. Is there a way to change that via on the fly without having to delete it or re-route the trace?

I tried using the "change" command, but it does not seem to have a via specific selection.

    Won't that be a "global" change and impact all vias?

    I only want to change specific vias on a specific net.

    When you edit padstacks, the dropdown will give you an option to select single vias. If you don't select single, that will change all vias.
