Altium convert objects

Sniper2 , 01-27-2026, 05:27 PM
So is there a easy way to convert all the THT Via that are defined as THT pads from footprints into true Via even if they are still part of the footprint?
How can i convert a polygon to a region and vice versa? i didnt see any convert options for this + the y are sort of more of the same?

"*So is there a easy way to convert all the THT Via that are defined as THT pads from footprints into true Via even if they are still part of the footprint?*" -- I assume you want to edit the properties of the primitives in the footprint: unlock the primitives (screenshot)
"*How can i convert a polygon to a region*" -- Tools / Convert / Explode polygon to free primitives.
"*... and vice versa?*" -- https://www.altium.com/documentation/knowledge-base/altium-designer/convert-a-fill-or-region-into-a-polygon
