This all makes me wish more and more for a more powerful user 
programming capability in pcb and also gschem.  Despite the pain which 
skill programming can be, this sort of thing would be trivial in 
cadence.  It is fairly easy to iterate over a design and find instances 
of a certain type (a via in layout, an instance of a particular cell, 
whatever) and filter based on some property and then change things. 
Granted, I'm more likely to want this programming capability when 
dealing with hundreds of pages of schematics.  Then again, 344 vias is 
not a small number.
