It may just be my memory playing tricks (already pulled over 40 hours this week), but I thought that the annular ring design rules used the same math (i.e. the difference between the radii) for both pads and vias.
During rework of a project that should have been at the fabhouse last week, I noticed a difference between the calculation of a pad and a via: pads still do the right math but vias are calculated by diameter in stead of radius resulting in errors of -50% / +100%.... Both are pretty undesirable, to say the least.
This same error is made in both the online and batch DRC and even in the PCB reports.
When I set the scope to 'whole board' and hit 'select affected objects' _all_ copper gets highlighted wether it has a hole or not. Looks weird but relatively harmless.
I already tried the DDB repair service (no luck), restarted the PC (no luck) and experimented on a fresh PCB (in the same DDB, true); only to find the same weird stuff.
Is this just me being stupid (again) or did some stray cosmic ray toggle a setting somewhere deep inside the works of my P99SE? More importantly: _which_ setting?
Help me out here, guys...
