Jeff: It matters not to us what size the "dots" are for a via plugger artwork. They will be adjusted in size by the CAM department. I guess what would be easiest for the designer would be to keep them the same size as the via pad. The via plugging that we do is performed after the solder level operation from one side (typically the solder side). An overlap is created between the plugger dots and the LPI mask surrounding the via hole which is large enough to accomadate any misregistration.
