Remove overlapping vias

I have an RF design and I am using the "Place/Via Array" tool. In some parts it is doing this:

When I click on "DRC/Update" it does not even mark them as an issue. I have these settings:

When I run the `dbdoctor` command, nothing happens. I guess because it is not even considering this as a DRC. 

How can I remove the overlapping vias or at least show a DRC where they occur?

    In the Physical constraint set, you can try using "not allowed" in the pad-to-pad Connect tab in the last column.

    Hello

    you try like this.
    Turn on SameNetSpacing, then move the via array by picking point (ix 0, 0) and then (0, 0).

    Best regards,

    Answering my own question: Go to `Setup/Constraints/Modes/Same Net Spacing` and then enable all.
