Overlap error with Vias in pad

Question

Hello,

I am trying to place vias inside the area of a pad. The vias are part of the same net as the pad. When I run DRC, I get an overlap error. How do I place vias in a pad in a such a way that DRC is happy?

Thanks

Richard, Thanks for your reply. Would a "Drill Distance" error show
up in DRC as just that? The error I am getting in DRC is "Overlap"
not "Drill Distance"

Mike

If a via that has the same name as the SMD's signal is placed on a

SMD and there is a clearance value set for "VIA-SMD same signal" DRC

will report an overlap error.
