Can I make trace fatten in Anti-Pad Area

Hi All

there is thin trace which is connected to Via or Thru-Pin which have Anti-pad area.

but the thin trace should be fatten when it enters on Anti-pad Area like below.

Can I control the thinkness of trace in Anti-pad area?

of course if I lay the shape it would be done, but there are so many via or thru-pin should be applied like this.

so I need the function to fatten trace automatically 

I want to make all trace like below automatically when they get in the anti-pad area.

below one is that I made manually with cut the single Cline segment

(without Taper/Tear drop)

    My understanding is the via barrel / adjacent ground via distance is dominant in determining insertion loss.

    Better time payoff in optimizing your netlist to minimize via counts.

    With such a short trace, are you able to measure a benefit with a test board?
