Afshin, To use the design rule go in the design rules, select manufacturing, select solder mask expansion, click add, select object kind, check via's, give the expansion a negative value, and click ok.

Is there a design rule for the via's that allow you to select solder mask options? I saw a design rule for via size but not solder mask. All of my via's should be a different size than any pads so if it were necessary I am sure I could select them all and do a global change if that is the only way possible. Some of my via's are placed so close to pads after a route that I am afraid of bridging occurring when the PCB is soldered. Thanks to everyone for your continued help.
