How to set thru via hole to thru via hole spacing constraint?

avant

Is there a way to set a thru via hole to thru via hole spacing constraint?

I need the hole to hole spacing, nit pad to pad spacing.

I can calculate the spacing using the via pad diameter, but this won't work for multiple via pad sizes.

    Yes, this can be configured through Manufacturing checks in the Constraint Manager. An Allegro Venture, or Enterprise, license is required to enable these checks.

    If your software supports it, use parameterized rules where you can define spacing based on the pad diameter. This can allow for flexibility when using multiple via pad sizes.
