Differences between Allegro and Altium Drill format

Hi all,

Our new manufacturer is complaining about our NC Drill file format and  is asking us to give it them in Excellon format or something like Altium Drill file. I am wondering if we  can configure Allegro PCB to give Excellon format or something which is like Altium Drill file. Otherwise they can't start manufacturing. Is there a way to convert these file formats?! Can we configure Allegro to give us its Drill file in Excellon format?!
I would really appreciate any advice,

Hossein

    Allegro has always created drill in Excellon.  What they are most likely asking for is "enhanced" Excellon which includes the tools in the start of the file and automatic tool selection.  Simply click these options in your NC Drill parameters setup box and you'll be good to go.
