.drl file not opening

Harsh shah
Harsh shah over 1 year ago

I am able to generate Ncdrill file, but when i am trying to import the file through (file> open> myfile.drl) it is throwing me error as shown above.
For this reason my manufacturer is not able to start the manufacturing process.
How resolve this issue?

    There is unlikely to be anything wrong with the DRL file. The DRL file is text and File>Open in PCB Editor is expecting a BRD, DRA, or MDD binary file. If you use File>File Viewer to open the DRL file, you will be able to see the file contents.
