You can specify this with the DRC tool, under the clearance tab -- there is actually a setting for minimum distances between pads and traces, pads and vias, vias and traces, etc, etc. What it cannot do, and I have asked Eagle about this directly, is to use more spacing if it is available. If I specify 6mil spacing between pads and traces, and it had 100 mils available, it will usually use 6mils. I would've preferred if it would use more spacing to reduce bridges etc at the PCB house. > 2. Type "help class" in the command line.
