Hi there,
Say you are running a trace out from a pad, and you want the via to be
as close as possible to the pad. Is there any way to know, before you
drop the via, that you have gone out far enough so that you will not
cause a via-pad violation. I seem to go through an iterative process
where I drop the via, then slide it to clear the violation I create, or
to push it up to the pad.
No combination of shove or hug in the options tab seems to help. eg you
might think that shove might push the via away from the pad as you place
it, if it was going to violate.
From memory, Veribest would ghost a via on your cursor (so you could
see how much room it was going to take up) and it would change colour
(or something) to let you know if there was going to be a violation ie
it was not a valid via site.
Cheers,
Steve
