Summary

This feature is used to create via types from used vias. 

Access

This command can be accessed from the Layer Stack Manager by:

  • Choosing the Tools » Create Via Types from Used Vias command from the main menus. 

Use

After launching the command, the current drill pairs will be removed and are replaced with pairs created based on the actual vias currently used within the region of the PCB design associated with the active layer stack. A confirmation dialog will appear. Click Yes to effect the replacement.
