Export NC Drill

NC drill files convey PCB drilling information. Quadcept supports two NC formats, RS-274X and Excellon. For Excellon format you can set the output type for slots/square holes that exist in your design at the Slot/Square Hole Output Type setting. For details on the settings for each NC format, see the NC Drill page.
