Please HELP,
I have tested that the generated Kicad drill file is an ASCII
file.
The second file I have sent begins as follows:
M48
INCH,TZ
T1C0.031
T2C0.039
T3C0.040
T4C0.120
%
G05
T1
X7000Y-1500
X7000Y-1700
X7000Y-2050
X7000Y-2250
X7150Y-1325
X7150Y-1950
X7200Y-1950
However, I get now from eurocircuits the error message: GERBER
drillmaps are NOT supported.
May any one give me information on how I may generate a non
Gerber drill file with Kicad?
Regards,
Jean-Paul

View it with a text editor as well to confirm ASCII.
