Changing the via type is more tricky:
- One can use the net size as default when changing between micro vias and other types.
- But the vias layers must also be set in any case. There are constraints on layers for each type.

Obviously, this dialog will need a bit of experiments.

OK (only an error message the via is smaller than design settings)
