I have to agree and as I've said before I haven't done a drill dwg for
years, why bother?
just use the select by hole size to review them carefully before release
and don't use more than 8 or so sizes unless you really need to
(which does happen, we have some boards with 12-14 sizes sometimes,
usually jacks and such are the culprits)
I know a lot of companies have documentation standards which require
drill dwgs, but time marches on and they aren't making much of it
anymore
