Testprep...how to control distance from testvia to component pad.

I've tried to set the distance from a smd pin to a smd testvia but don't get the desired results. The distance ends up being via to smd pin which is smaller. How can i accomplish this without putting in a no-probe area around the pins? Thanks.

    Tomoo, I've since got Testprep to abide by the parameters and spacings set in CM. There is one thing though and that is why i can place a tp via within the placebound shape of a comp and yet i have stated in the parameters never to do that and use the placebound shape as the comp. representation. Any thoughts here?
