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)

Soldermask to soldermask might work, but I don't know how to set it, 
is that available in Performance option?

Hi all,

I think I do understand the question since I also miss such feature.

Problem stated:
 - to not to have Via too close to SMD pin

Partial Solution:
 - enable same net DRC (problem is that it checks all other rules and 
often creates many unwanted DRCs)

Other possibility
 - set a rule for "Solder mask to Solder mask" spacing assuming that 
Vias are not covered (problem is that this is one global rule for a 
whole design)

regards,
Robert

Hey Pat,

Not exactly sure what you are asking here.  Need a little
      

clarification!

Is there no way in Allegro to have the same net rules apply only to 
certain rules?  The one I always need is via to smd pin, but I would 
not want all the rest of the rules to have same net application.
