Any way to adjust scale of NC drill file

2014-10-29 by beefyzee@...

The circuit board I have produced is a tiny tiny bit smaller than what it should be. I'm guessing my printer is not printing dead accurately.


I'm going to cnc drill the board.


For whatever reason my cam software will not scale the NC drill file. Entering different ratios on import does nothing and the hole to hole distance remains the same.


There's no option in my PCB software to adjust the export scale (using Diptrace).


So now my only option seems to be finding an application that can import/open the NC drill file, scale it, then save/export it with the new scale.


Any ideas ?


Cheers,


Keith.
