Re: [kicad-users] Removing inner pads with vias

Yes, I did that, I use standard vias, 0.01 drill. 0.025 pad, no micro, no 
buried, no blind.
I just need to specify different pad size (or remove) on inner layer.

I'm not sure how to go back and correct, but when you initially setup your
Via parameters Dimensions->Tracks_and_Vias you can use the radio buttons
to select which vias you're talking about, either Standard Via, Blind Via,
or Burried Via.

I did not find any way of doing it either without resorting to gerber changes.
It seems that the house does not like small pads on inside layers, their 
program checks for copper around the hole and flags it as an error.
They require larger pads on inside layers (>= 0.012 all around) and smaller (>= 
0.005) on outside layers.
It does not matter that it is not connected to anything on inner layers.
The zones are OK and there is enough spacing between the pad and the zone.
Is there a way to specify different pad size for each layer?

Hi,
I am not sure that this is possible. Vias and through hole components
have pad for every layer. Try to edit the files with a Gerber editor and
trim the pads . Could you send a visual representation of the DRC ? Most
likely you will have to rework the problem zones.

My PCB house DRC check complains about vias having pads on inner layers.
How to have via pads on the outside and no pads inside the board on 4 
layer board?
The inner pads are not connected to anything and do not hurt anything 
but I get over 500 errors that I want to clean up.
