Sure, there are a few ways to do this. You have to make a rule for the plane connect style, then use the query helper to specify the via.
Specifying the via is where the different ways to do this come in. I would specify the NET or NETCLASS and IsVia, and InRegionrelative, or inRegionAbsolute depending on where I had the origin for the board (look in the archives for the difference), but you could also make a room for that area and then use TouchesRoom. There is also a function to select if it is within the space of a component, but I can't remember the name of it and don't have time to look. You could also tell it to apply the rule if the via is not in a net class so that it only apply to nets that were not in the power class, but that is assuming you don't have it directly connected to a power net, and are using the NetTie component attribute to attach it to the power net. So yes it is very easy to do unlike P99SE where about the only easy way to do it was to convert the via to a free pad then make a rule to specify that pad. Robert D. LaMoreaux MTS Systems Corp.
