A long time ago, just after the invention of solder, my company used a CAD system known as Circuitmaker 2000 (not the same as the current system by the same name). We've still got a few PCB layouts that have not been updated to our new system. I tried to re-order some PCB's that were done in the old system, only to discover that most of the PCB fabrication companies we use can no longer read the old "EIA binary .DRL" N/C drill files. The old CAD system does not have an option to generate the N/C drill files in text format, which is what most current CAD systems use.
The Gerber files generated by the old system are fine- the problem is with the N/C drill file only.Is it possible to convert the binary N/C drill file to text format? How?Thanks for any insight on this!-Rick
