The padstack feature has been extended in DXP to allow control on all the inner layers individually (full padstack mode) - so you would be able to manually control what pads and what layers have annuli. This helps but does not completely solve the problem. The problem being you may make a connection on a layer and forget to increase the annulus on that layer. I am trying to think if the query system would allow a rule to be applied that would catch this - but as powerful as they are I can't think how one would construct a query that allowed you to determine that a specific layer of a pad had a connection, and how one would be able to selectively apply that to each layer without having to have a rule for all layers. (Vias don't have the full padstack option.) This would be a powerful extension - I think I will propose this and see what the response is.
