Allegro PCB Design Tutorial


Elliptical or rectangular hole in Allegro Gerber



If the only type of the holes that your design has are circular holes then genereating the drill file using Manufacture -> NC -> NC Drill is sufficient. However, if your design contains elliptical or rectangular drills, the NC Drill is nor sufficient. You should do two things to include the slot hole information.

1. Include a slot hole report by going to report -> Slot Hole report.

2. Generate a rou file by going to Manufacture -> NC -> NC Route. This will generate a .rou file that will have the information for the rectangular or oval drills.
