Allegro 17.2 test point creation

tracemhos

Curious to know why the test point NC drill exports in english units even with the NC parameters specifies metric?

Also not a fan of having to use separate test point pads for top and bottom test points as opposed to just using an SMD pad and mirroring to the bottom. Seems like this could be made much better

    Using 17.2 S031 and I am not seeing the units reported in the drill file not change to what the parameters are set to:

    Using MILS data


    < MECHANICAL PIN >

    location-xy: (2525.0 3275.0)

    An English drill file exports the location as

    M00
    X002525000Y003275000


    That same hole with the parameters set to Metric and the DB still using MILS

    M00
    X064135000Y083185000

    The normal drill file shows the correct units, its the test point drill file that doesn't change its units
