how to find dangling vias in Mentor Pads 9.4?

[balaji.govindaraj]

Hi ,

Is there any option to find the dangling vias in the mentor graphics PADS layout v 9.4?

Its a tedious process to find them manually.!

Help me with any techniques or scripts.

Thanks in advance

Don't create them in the first place....

Thanks for the response Marce.

In case of high density boards , we used to do fan-out all the component pads with a via and then we used to start routing.In such cases there are chances to place vias and route them in the outer layer itself.So we find it difficult to track the unwanted vias.

If there is any option to track the unwanted vias please let me know.

Thanks ,
