In the VIA dialog, set the properties for each via:

• Via Length: Choose a via length from the list.
• Pad Shape: Choose from square, round, or octagon.
• Dimensions: Use auto to set default values. Set custom dimensions or choose dimensions from the list.

Apply Solder Mask.

• Auto: Use the default solder mask values specified in Design Preferences.
• Off: Disable solder mask openings. The solder mask will cover the via entirely.
• Offset: Set a custom size or choose a size from the list. If the custom values exceed Design Preferences limits, they will automatically adjust to the allowed limits.
