Creating a via padstack vs. through hole padstack

Hi,

I've been searching the forums, but haven't found quite the exact answer to my issue. I know that everyone has different methods and sizes for creating padstacks. In my case, I have specifications from both the manufacturer and my professor on creating padstacks. I have successfully created several surface mount and through hole padstacks without any issue. Now, I need to make a few custom via padstacks for larger current traces. My question is, what is a good set of rules to follow for creating a via padstack? Is it similar to through hole? I opened up the default VIA.pad and played with it, but I wanted to make sure I set everything correctly. I am using 16.0. Thanks.

Thanks Eric, that's what I figured. I just wanted to check before I went through and changed all my vias.
