That's close to the 0.025" you're already using and shouldn't cause any problems on the outer layers. It does, though, give you a unique Gerber aperture which will make it easy to strip them from the inner layer Gerbers. Note the aperture number in the table and search for the corresponding 'D##*' line in the file. You'd then just delete all of the lines from it down to the next 'D##*' line. Another option would be to use a Gerber editor to strip the vias from the inner layers. My personal preference is ViewMasterEZ. (about $50 from www.pentalogix.com) Regards, Bob

Yes, I did that, I use standard vias, 0.01 drill. 0.025 pad, no micro, no buried, no blind. I just need to specify different pad size (or remove) on inner layer.

Just out of curiousity, who is your board house?

Re: [kicad-users] Removing inner pads with vias
I'm not sure how to go back and correct, but when you initially setup your Via parameters Dimensions->Tracks_and_Vias you can use the radio buttons to select which vias you're talking about, either Standard Via, Blind Via, or Burried Via.
