Hi Clyde
Your answer is what I had expected.
Does Orcad still have that "feature" where on internal holes it floods over
when the pad is set to undefined? Is your comment about countermanding a
designers wishes how it was fixed?
I guess there is no way besides manual to verify clearance on an NPT hole.

I bet you that you have a non-plated hole there. For some reason, Orcad
programmers changed the program so that when you create a non-plated hole
with no pads, when you close the padstack spreadsheet, it adds pads to the
front, rear and internal layers the same size as the hole diameter. In my
opinion, the designer should never have his intentions countermanded by a
computer program - especially when the program does not notify the designer
what it did. Go back and look at you non-plated hole - I bet it has pads
front and rear.

hole to feature clearance is set to 12 mils. The
pad to trace clearance is set to 5. I have a 30 mil npt hole. Orcad 10.0
is ignoring the hole to feature (12 mil), and is using the pad to trace
clearance (5 mil). In the padstack spreadsheet I tried changing the pad
size smaller the 30. It would not accept a value less then 30.
Currently I am manually looking for them. Is there a way to set-up so that
this is automatically found during DRC check?
