XY Placement

I need to generate XY data file. There is almost no documentation on how to generate it with ORCAD. I found a couple of 10-years old forum discussions here that say use File->Export but in 17.4 they decided to hide this function elsewhere. I could not find neither Export nor Report menus. Please help!

    Try the menu Export - Pick/Place Data or from Allegro File - Export - Placement

    Thanks, I was confused because they moved Export from "File" to top level.

    Reports/Component Report - this gives the X-Y, Top/Bottom, Mirrored/Not text report I supply to assembly.
