    How can I change a set of selected vias to one particular via? For
    example, let's say I select multiple instances of via1, via2 and/or via3
    and I want to change them all to instances via1. Is there a way to do
    this with skill?

    Morris, I believe what you are looking for is changing the master of
    the instance

    ex. select instance :

    aa =car(geGetSelSet()) this returns the pointer for the object you
    selected

    aa~>master this should give pointer for the present master

    newmasterCV =dbOpenCellViewByType( your new cell name goes here)
    aa~>newmasterCV this sets the new master for the instance



    hope this helps

    aa~>newmasterCV returns nil

    Morris, my apologies... a typo on my part.. try this

    aa~>master =newmasterCV should set it
