Mike,
on your comments on PADS, adding a via or stitching a whole fields
of vias was added back about 3 or more years ago (versions 3.1 or
thereabouts). Why do you still say it is a problem.
The DRCs would be a definite setback to PADS (as I knew them). At
least with Protel the DRC rules can be made 'almost' as specific as you may
like.
