    Try Display - Constraint (or Check - Constraints in OrCAD), then draw a window that crosses the pad and the copper pour. You see a report that lists the Constraints that are actually used and what they are set to.

    Use the Show Measure tool to measure between the pad and the shape. There will be an Air Gap value in the report that will represent the length of that red line.
