Component location export to BoM

RSYED

I'm using Capture 17.4 and in the past I would be able to backannotate/sync to pull in component side/location information (i.e. top or bottom) from layout to capture.
I could subsequently export that information to my BOM. Does anyone have any insight on how to do this in 17.4?

Thanks!

    Positions on the BOM is an unusual approach as for a lot of companies, the BOM changes frequently due to parts availability and other reasons.

    X,Y needs to track the board rev, not the BOM rev.   The placement CSV file is either extracted from IPC2581/ODB++ data by whatever software is used to program the vision system on the pick-n-place line along with stuffing the board.

    Probably don't want to expose position data to the ops team unless they were doing the line program.   Info like that tends to vanish.

    Usually you don't want CAD to re-export every single BOM rev as we(I) wouldn't get anything done.  But, if it works, I understand.

    But, I think you are going to need something outside of the Cadence workflow to get this done.
