Select - Select Matching Via Polygons

Select - Select Matching Via Polygons opens the Selection Matching Via Polygons dialog box that allows you to select via polygons which share characteristics of your choosing. This dialog box is very similar to the Via Properties dialog box. Refer to the Via Properties dialog box for definitions of the parameters. For example, you want to select all copper via polygons or all vias extending between metal levels 2 and 3; this dialog box allows you to do so.

If you select this command when there is no via metal polygon selected in your circuit, the Select Matching Metal Polygons dialog box is opened with the value ''Any'' in all the input fields. ''Any'' functions as a wild card. Select the desired values for the fields which you wish to match.

If one or more via metal polygons are selected in your circuit when you invoke this command, the Select Matching Metal Polygons dialog box is opened using the values of the selected polygons. If you then wish to remove one or more of the fields from consideration, enter the value ''Any'' or leave the entry blank for that field.

When you click on the OK button, any via polygons in your circuit which contain the specified parameters are selected.

Select non-matching polygons: Click on this checkbox if you wish to select all via polygons in your circuit which do NOT have the properties specified in this dialog box.

Select planar polygons with same metal name also: Click on this checkbox if you wish to select all metal polygons which use the same metal name.
