When you create gerbers check box "Suppress Unconnected Pads".

design...


Hi,

Is there a way to not have inner layer pad rings show up unless a trace is
connected to it on that specific layer?  I know that the pad rings can be
removed by the fabricator, but I want to remove them during design to allow
for more clearance for routing between vias.  How I've handled this in
another tool is to set-up custom padstacks that have pad rings only on the
two outer layers, and the one internal layer.  It worked fine, but obviously
required more work when picking vias.

Regards,

Austin
