Location of "edit via" list from constraint manager

Ruddwijk

So, i've got a layout where i want to switch vias globally. Through right click via - modify design padstack - all instances i'm getting a warning "W-  WARNING: If this is a via padstack, it must be added to the via list in constraints". However, the via list i get in constrains doesn't correspond to the one in the padstack folder, even though both library and database-parts are selected. I cannot seem to find or alter the location of the "edit via" list in the constraint manager. Any ideas? The attached picture shows the list, and a via i'd be happy to use, if i could find the matching one in the modify padstack list..

    Setup - User Preferences - Paths - Library - padpath is the location of where you store pads (filename.pad). Make sure any vias you want to use are stored in this location. The Modify Padstack list will only show pads that are used in a design, You can launch Padstack Editor as a stand-alone tool from the start menu and edit / add the pads you need, then store them in the padpath location. You can then add them to your via list.
