Hi!

Sorry, I somehow missed your question when you posted it last year.

FWIW, I think this would be possible and I'm 99% sure you can get to the vias via the Python API. Originally my thinking was that vias constitute an impedance irregularity that's significant nearly any time you're length matching - so once I'm at the situation where I care about 1.6mm length differences then I already need to be paying close attention to via placement, trying to keep them uniform across signals, etc. Once I'm doing that then I can mostly disregard them from a length matching perspective, because they're going to be mostly symmetrical changes.

That said - did you ever add via counting support to the script?
