Under setup there is pad suppression. You suppress vias also -----Original Message----- From: icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gennadiy Kiryukhin Sent: Thursday, September 09, 2010 10:47 AM To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Suppressing pads I have a BGA with ground plane under it. The problem I have is that the ball pitch is too small to create a single ground (power)plane under it with all the via pads unsuppressed. See picture attached. Instead of having one GND plane I have small islands. Is there any way to suppress pads on vias that don't have connections on that plane so that I have more room to create a single GND plane?
