I intend to submit files to advanced circuits for manufacturing my pcb. their site had this as file guidelines

Gerber formats should be in ODB++, 274x, or 274d.
Gerber File should use English units (one gerber file per layer). We prefer 2.3 leading format.
Please use a max of 8-character names before extension of 3 characters.
Please include fabrication print showing printed circuit board outline with drill pattern and sizes in gerber format.
An aperture file needs to be included (some layout packages need 1 for each layer).
A CNC Drill File in Excellon format needs to also be included. We prefer 2.4 trailing format


My software(Ultiboard) exports all the individual layers, Silkscreen and Soldermask top and bottom, Board outline, Drill as gerber files....NC Drill file(as .drl) and i uploaded all these in their site where they do a free DFM and gave me no errors. what is the aperture file ? Thanks !
 

Regards,
IanP
