Subject: [geda-user] PCB DRC: annular rings

   Hey folks.  I'm using a PCB fab house that has different requirements 
for annular rings around vias vs. component holes.  PCB's DRC facility 
appears to only support a single setting for all annular rings.

   How tough would it be to add another DRC parameter to provide 
"minimum annular ring around via" and "minimum annular ring around 
component hole" settings?  If this is feasible, I'd really like to see 
this as a new feature.

   Any thoughts?

   I should also mention...I've been away from PCB for a little while, 
working on other things.  Now I'm back doing some designs, and the 
current release of PCB is lightyears ahead of what I used ~2 years ago. 
  Thank you, everyone involved, for all of your hard work.  This is 
really good stuff.

            Thanks,
            -Dave
