Hi Mike, yes it is possible using your methodology and I have no problem with it. However, trying to get others to be so discisplined is the difficult portion of the task. Thus I was/am looking for a single step, doesn't take any extra effort, should find all occurances of "drills" that are too closely spaced. If it was just myself, I typically have no problems anyways because I just know better then to stack holes too close or right on top of each other. Thanks for the suggestion.
Suggestion for Protel: add a minimum drill space rule which will check for a minimum width of laminate between any two drill edges. This is what several other packages already have, it is a no-brainerjust ask a fab shop. Sincerely, Brad Velander.

Brad, So use a work around: gloabally decrease the size of your vias so they dont touch, find the double hits using the drc method then globally change them back. No one said it was easy.
