Change drill format during excellon import

[msauerpb]

Hi,
my drill file is in format XY 2.5 inch with leading zero suppression. If I want to import this file in KiCad gerberview the format will be XY 2.4 inch no TZ. How can I change it to the format of my file?

THank you for your help.

Why do you want to do this? AFAIK gerber readers look at the specification of the format near the top of the file so should adapt.

Very old drill files (and maybe gerber too) had coordinates in a fixed width format and without the decimal dots (comma’s).

KiCad does have: … / Preferences / Preferences / Gerber Viewer / Excellon Options

but I am not sure whether that is for output only. Internally KiCad works with 32 bit integers in nanometer resolution, and how it formats numbers for displaying is not very important.

I changed this parameter and now I can import the drill file.
