Hello guys,

The PCB fabrication plant, wants me to maintain 0.2mm clearance between VIAS and PADS of same net and any net. Hence I created rules like in the following picture :





The problem what I am facing is, Altium throws error for the VIAS under the thermad pad of QFN. I couldn't find out how to solve this problem, could anyone help me out please !

Thanks in advance.
