Drill file formats supported ?

Where can I find the list of drill file formats supported for the Gerber import flow ?

I am encountering a problem at the moment that only a single shape / location is imported from my drill file.

Using revision 23.1 of KLayout (which by the way is a very neat application -- congratulations).
Will upgrade just in case...

    Hello,

    I don't know of a real standard regarding drill files, so there is no real list.

    The Excellon drill file specification is rather complete and comprehensive. I was referring to a spec for a CNC-7 machine mainly. But there appear to be numerous different formats out there, so the reader accepts other formats too. The main problem is the specification of the numerical format and the units. Some formats don't give any information at all, some place it into comments in a more or less standardized way.

    Usually the reason for problems is the number format. Without a format specification, the problem should refuse to import the file.

    If you are able to send a sample, I'll have a look at it.

    Matthias
