Top and bottom variations are my biggest need, but on the multilayer, need to have full control, as while I might have the top layer with big pad, and the bottom layer minimal pad, the inner layers in this case need to be defined. How are unconnected inner layer pads removed in Kicad at Gerber time ?
I could not see the option in Board_fabrication - gerbers - Plot.
I note there is this post:
with this suggestion : PCB Editor / Tools / Remove Unused Pads
This is good so that you can pour more copper, but then the vias stacks get out of sync with the objects.
-But in most cases I want it to happen at Gerber time, not during the design.
Most software can remove unconnected pads on inner layers at Gerber export
In Altium, default is not plot unconnected pads
and also for removing pad shapes during PCB work :
Just like teardrops, you can go forward - backward
Kicad is good here
