Newbie question, sorry if it's too basic for your guys. Trying to save some space/nets/soldering for an SMT board. Some of my devices are 1206 and larger (caps), and the size of the pads looks large enough to include a via inside. Besides, with the solder all over it there's not going to be a difference from the connection stand point. Can I just freely move vias around so that they end up INSIDE a device's position on a board, specifically its pad? Thanks for all your responses!
