Hi everyone,

Vector formats supported are DXF, DWG, EPS, AI, PDF, SKP and SVG. You would need to export as one of those formats from the CAD program (making sure that there is some indicator at the drill point) or find a 3d party program that can translate into one of those - http://www.gerbview.com/

There is no way of importing the actual drill sizes though. They would need to be set up manually in the toolpaths.
