I have a design which contains via's. I want to change the style of all via's to another. Is there ant way to select all via's ?

Or is there another option to do this ?

If all your vias are of one style then try,-
Settings=>Design Tech=>Pad Styles and globally edit that pad style to the new size you require.

Or you could display only vias, then use the Goto bar to select all the vias of that style. Choose Pad Style in the Goto bar, click on the name of the pad style, then right-click and do 'Select All Visible Find Items'. This should select all the vias of that style. Then you should be able to open the Properties and change the style of all of them at once.

I changed it the way edrees suggested and it did the job. But the suggestion from DavidM seems also interesting I wasn'nt aware o selecting all pads of certain style with the goto bar.

Remains one question for me. How do I display only via's ?

Unless David has a better/alternative way,-
Click Display (rainbow), then "undisplay" all layers.

Or leave the layers on, and turn off the 'categories' for pads and symbol pads. You can do both (hide pads, and hide all layers) from the Layers dockable bar so you don't even need to open the Display dialog.
