Purpose

To apply spacing restrictions to via pads.

Function

Reports via pad to via pad measurements less than pp_spacing. Does not report measurements involving features with attribute Copper Feature Ignore.

Via, in this instance, refers to a via hole with attribute Drill Type = Via.

If the job was created directly from a CAD database, extra functionality is provided. A measurement between pads of the same CAD net, even if unconnected in the same layer, are placed in the ‘CAD Self Spacing’ category rather than the ‘Via to Via’ category.
