excellon

Hamilton Kibbe <ham@hamiltonkib.be>

The Excellon format is the most common format for exporting PCB drill information. The Excellon format is used to program CNC drilling macines for drilling holes in PCBs. As such, excellon files are sometimes refererred to as NC-drill files. The Excellon format reference is available here. The excellon submodule implements calsses to read and write excellon files without having to know the precise details of the format.

The excellon submodule's read function serves as a simple interface for parsing excellon files. The ExcellonFile class stores all the information contained in an Excellon file allowing the file to be analyzed, modified, and updated. The ExcellonParser class is used in the background for parsing RS-274X files.
