Hello Mike,

Thank you for contacting support.

Actually that file is a "Gerber file" with a bunch of "Square" polygons and not a Drill file.  To create a drill file from a Gerber, you need to do the following:

1. Convert those "square polygons" to round flashes.  Flashes are required when converting to Drill becauase they have a Center & Width (just like drill holes).

2. Then convert that Gerber file to Drill.

Here's a quick tutorial movie:

Hope that helps!
