Oleg,
It does not appear to be any way to revert back to the
Pre SPB15.2 NcDrill Legend subclass separation for Legend
and drill figures..  To avoid any extra work I would suggest
modifying NC Drill Template file (*.dlt) such that the title
specifies that the Drill chart is for reference and the drill 
tape should be used. These configuration files are located in
the Cadence software Install directory under share\pcb\text\nclegend.

Here is an example of what you could change in the default-mil.dlt:
(Note only the top of file is shown with ?Title and ?TitleHeight lines 
updated)

(make__ncTemplate_struct
 ?Name                  "default-mil"
 ?Title                 "REFERENCE DRILL CHART: $lay_nams$|PLEASE REFER TO 
NC DRILL TAPE"
 ?Units                 "mils"
;
;   Precision specifies the number of decimal digits to follow the
;   decimal point in size and tolerance values appearing in the table. 
;
;   -1 = as many as are needed ... minimum 1 (DEFAULT)
;    0 = suppress decimal point and decimal digits
;   >0 = always put <n> decimal digits after the decimal point,
;        adding any trailing 0's as necessary
;
 ?Precision             -1
;
 ?TitleHeight           400
 ?TitleTextBlock        9
 ?ColumnTitleTextBlock  9
 ?DataTextBlock         9
 ?PlatingOrder          "PlatedFirst" 

Hope this helps,

Subject:        [PCB_FORUM] Drill Chart on Allegro 15.2


Hello Allegro Gurus,
Our pcbfab vendor does not require to have Drill Chart table on drill 
gerber
layer
(they use drill tape),
there fore before Allegro V15.2 we just turn OF Ncdrill_Legend layer.
Now (on Allegro V15.2) program creates as a default Nclegend1-6 layer and
puts Drill Chart and Ncdrill figures on the same  (Nclegend1-6) layer.
So question is: is the way to put Drill Chart on different layer (in order
not to
show it for fabvendor)? Other wise I have to delete Drill chart and leave
Ncdrill figures only  before creating gerber.
Thank you in advance.

Regards,
