Use the small arrow down next to ā€œVia: use netclass sizesā€ which will open the menu below and click Edit Predefined Sizes:

That will take you to settings of tracks and vias. You also have to set netclasses (Pre-defined sizes and Net Classes in the settings.

I simply donā€™t understand the question.
You have PCB designed and you want to change in one move (global) all holes diameters at PCB?
I think hole diameters (you are asking about holes, arenā€™t you?) have nothing to do with DIY or not. Rather pad diameteres could have something to do with it, but not holes, I think.

this not via

i have problems about hole on foot print

this small print to laser printer


i try not work

i change

this ok, but have config global ?

i need change global like f.mask


There is no global configuration for pad hole size. Pads are part of footprints, which each have their own sizes.

If you want all pads to have the same drill hole, you need to choose footprints carefully, or make your own footprints / customize existing footprints to change the drill size.

As mentionedā€¦re Footprintā€™s understand them.

In particular, know itā€™s best to Not modify existing Footprints before Saving a Copy to your preferred folder.

Thus, modify those Saved Copies, only.

Footprints vary enough that in a ā€˜Bulk-Changeā€™ manner, without knowing specificā€™s of each Footprintā€™s Pads/Holes/Masks/Silk/etc, you may get varied results.

That saidā€¦

You can use WildCardā€™s to search and change the values, thus can in a Bulk way, make the changes in a Text-Editor (or Coding).

Each Footprint will have similar Syntax in the Footprint file.

In the Example below, I show a Stock-Kicad Footprint File, copied to my Folder and Opened in a Text-Editor:
ā€¢ Shows the ā€˜sizeā€™ and ā€˜drillā€™

Iā€™ll just throw Values at it show the Result in PCB (need to Close PCB, save the Footprint-File and Re-Open the PCB and Update from (your saved Footprint library)ā€¦ (Sometimes Iā€™ve found I needed to Fully Quit, sometimes only needed to quit the PCBā€¦)

Results show Padā€™s and Holes changed ADDED: showing changing All the Placed Footprints and, given that I changed the File, Newly Placed Footprints will reflect the Change, too.
