Defining Vias With Different Anti-Pads/Selected Layers In Positive Planes

aemeehan

Engineer has requested a smaller anti-pad on only 2 plane layers for a via on a high speed diff pair. I've created the special via with the different anti-pads on the 2 layers (whose names match the .brd). When I replace the vias in question, the plane clearances still remain at the old diameter. I updated the shapes on the appropriate planes to void to Thermal/anti instead of DRC, and updated the shapes, but I'm still seeing the old larger clearances. I'm using positive planes by the way. What other setting do I need to look at in order to make this smaller anti-pad work? Thanks for any advice you can provide.
