Ahhh... I have always put pads on all layers. Did you call cadence about
the problem?
When I first tried to use the multi-drill function, it didn't work. It
showed up in allegro just fine, but not in the gerbers (if I remember
correctly). I called Cadence, and they said, yep, it's broke. They released
update relatively quickly.

Yep.

It doesn't really, except that it might have been easier to use the pad
feature instead of inserting 64 vias.
