PTH and NPTH drills-holes in Ultiboard

Hello everyone,
I have an older Uliboard project which is made in Ultiboard 8.1.7. (Build date 2005!!)
In file export/export ('Gerber RS274X) I can’t choose a file with the extension “.xln”. I don’t see a different file for plated or non plated holes.
Is there any way to make this files?
I need them to order this project.

Hi :wave: that is quite an outdated version :sweat_smile: we don’t have Ultiboard to try it out ourselves.
But I have found this screenshot, do you have a checkmark that says NC drill? That should also work.

Hello Thea,
Yes, it is very outdated. Later projects are designed in Eagle or Kicad. But occasionally I need some of these “old” pcb’s.
There is indeed an option to create an NC drill file. I’m going to do that.
Thanks for your help.

I have the same problem. I use Ultiboard 12 and I downloaded an evaluation/trail version of the latest Ultiboard version (14.3) to see if the output is accepted by Aisler. It’s not. I cannot see any difference between the newest version and the version I use. (FYI the output is accepted by other manufacturers without problems)

I tried the ‘aisler_ultiboard_export.uxcfg’ that gives the same settings like the picture of the screenshot above in the 2nd post.
The NC drill output gives two files:

  • a NC file (.drl) with the NC code for the holes
  • a report file (.rep) where is a list of a toolnumbers and their size and wether its NPTH and PTH.
    I do not know how I can convert it to this:

    I also use NPTH and PTH slots. How can I use that?
