ACE Translator 3000 (CAD to EDA Translator) 332

I noticed that my drill file (.drl) has other dimension (mm) than my other gerber files mainly all the other layer files (mil). I can successfully convert the gerber files to ODB++with only one exception; that is my drill "layer" does not match properly.

First for the segment file, you can see some of the yellow lines are composed of two separate segments that don’t quite overlap. Is there a way to get these to join together and round out?

During DXF to Gerber conversion, my drill file is empty because the drill holes are in a mode where they are painted, our CAM station calls them contours (by drawing the perimeter of the circle and shading it in.)
