Hi All
We want to convert traxplot .txt ncdrill files to be used for a cnc
pcb drill
and was interected to know if anyone knew of any conversion software
that might be out there to convert .txt to .nc files.
thanks

It is a long time since I used TraxPlot, but I suspect that your .txt
drill files _are_ Excellon nc drill files - have you compared the
format of the Traxplot files to a .nc file?

Current Protel products use a .txt extension on the Excellon drill
files, and the board shops I use accept them with no problems.
