this is always something I never know which is meant. when I enter the value, I never know if the diameter of the copper pad is meant, or the width of the annular ring. because "ring" was used in the DRC settings and route style, I expected them to mean the same (that would be coherent within the software). but as you described, they don't mean the same thing. the DRC annular ring is real just about the ring (after drill). but the route style ring is not the ring, it's the copper pad diameter. you can "confirm" this when you see the via after placing one on the board. ideally the route style ring would set the ring size, so the dimension is coherent with the name and DRC setting. but this would need a larger rewrite of the code. instead I would propose to rename via ring in the GUI to via diameter (e.g. not use the ring word), and add use "copper pad diameter" in the tooltip description (instead of via ring diameter). ideally there would be a tooltip picture/diagram, but I'm not sure how feasible that it. still, that does not explain why it said the measured value is 0.0mm, if the ring in the via is 0.15mm.
