DXF export Drill shape/size

Mstrghettorigg

Hello all, I was wondering if there was a way to export DXF file that has the exact hole size/shape of the Allegro data. I basically want the circle displayed when "Display Plated Holes" and 'Display non-plated holes" are checked on "Design Parameter Editor". Have anyone had any luck with this? I am afraid to use the NC Drill legend since I the identifier on those may have different size setting in the pad. Please advise if anyone have a solution to this.

    before dxf out you can temporary set the drill symbol to circle with same xy size as drill diameter this is done in manufacturing nc legend for each circle add different character (e.g. 0-9 for pth and a,b,c,d,,,,, for npth) in dxf out select to add drill symbol you can change it later according to your preferences robyd
