Brad- You can use the Tools/Convert command to convert selected vias to pads or the other way around.

You could also add single layer pads to the inner layers to give the vias a pseudo pad stack. This is a little tricker, but it can be accomplished using selection, copy/paste, and convert. I've done this in the past for vias within BGAs to gain better DRC capabilities.

I converted a two layer PBC to a 4 layer PCB.

The vias are 28/40 mils.

The PCB manufacturer is okay with 6 mil annular ring on the top and bottom
layers but requires 8 mil on the internal layers.



Must the vias be replaced with pads to achieve this? If so can all the vias
be replaced with pads globally or do they have to be replaced manually?

Thanks,
