Hi,

I need to know whether it is possible to generate .drl file without
having PCB layout file?
I have all the other Gerber files and Fab drawing in .dwg (AUTOCAD)
format.Also I have got Aperture definition files in .gap fomat and
gerber files in .gbr format.But i dont have any file of .PCB format
containing any layout data.

How is it possible to hand generate the .drl file?
And how to verify it?

Please answer as soon as possible as my target date is tomorrow
itself.

-VK

It is possible that one of your gerber files contains images for locating
holes, but I would not depend on it.
