Allegro NC Drill and NC Route Integer.decimal format not exported in Gerber

Hello,

In Allegro 17.2 2016, how do I force the INTEGER.DECIMAL format commands into the .drl and .rou exported outputs?

Let me explain in more detail.

When I export gerber files for copper, solder mask and etc, I see in the files the Gerber  FS command which give the X and Y Integer.Decimal format. See

https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/197584/how-do-you-know-what-resolution-a-gerber-file-has

For the NC drill and NC route, I put in the NC parameters a check in the Enhanced Excellon format with leading zero suppression. See picture. Is the leading zero suppression bad?

When I export the files and look in the .drl and .rou, I do not see the format anywhere. When I import into a free viewer such as Viewmate, it makes a guess. I see the NC route scaled 10x too large.

Thanks,

Frank

    the variable setting nc_drill_export_coordinate_format worked before Hotfix_SPB17.40.018:

    INCH,00.00000

    but not since:

    INCH

    the CCR status is 'Planned'
