Yves You set the spacing rules from setup/constraints(only from Allegro_expert) 1.open the constarint manager from setup menu 2.click the set Values from spacing rule set 3.From the Global option, select test via and set the spacing rules between testvia to testvia,test via to pth,testvia to smd,testvia to via etc. Hope this will solve.

We have created special testvia's with larger pads on bottom. And enabled the option to replace current via's with the test via's. After running the auto mode, we have several nets that did not get testpads. So we'll have to add them manually, but this implies that we'll have to slide existing testvia's. It seems that the spacingcheck between different testvia's is using the design constraints and not the spacing value set in the testprep params window. Is there a way to have the spacing rule testvia - testvia set to a certain value and the value between testvia - via and via - via to another ? Or is there another way to solve this?
