Hello,
It has been a number of years since I was active in the PCB design realm. I
was asked a question yesterday about the possibility of placing vias inside
a component pad. My first response was "no way", but then I thought maybe
things have changed.

I have used vias in heatsink pads for thermal reasons, but this designer
was asking about placing a signal via inside one pad of an 0805 resistor.
What are the guidelines these days?

Thanks,
Heather Gregg
