        Just reading this email and also have never seen this rule
before.
        What is the function of the soldermask alignment drc?

Thank you Robert.  I can't believe I have never seen that one in there.
Using "sm to sm" works for via to smd.  Also a pleasant surprise, this
does
not give me drc's where I allow a soldermask shape to cover over pads
that
already have soldermasks.  I'm guessing this rule will show up with
occasional bogus drc's, but nowhere near as bad as if I pushed the same
net
button.

Patrick,
I think it is available even in a lower tool than Performance:
setup-> constrains->design constrains->soldermask to soldermask

Dave,
they do if same net DRC is switched on, but:
 - I cannot assign different values for 'same net' and 'different net'
 - I see occasionally unwanted and annoying DRCs 'Line to Line Spacing' 
when clines overlaps (intentionally)
