Hi,
 
I need to see if the entire path from source to destination can carry a
known current.  Is there any tool/script that does this, or at least
can give me the minimum copper width between two pins (or points) and I
can then calculate the current carrying capacity?
 
What happens is shapes get voided around vias, and therefore will
reduce the effective copper width along the route, and I need a tool to
help, or have to do this visually/manually.
 
Thanks,
 
Austin
