Pick-n-Place files

bulldog

Hi,

Has anybody written a program to generate pick-n-place files that outputs fiducial (mechanical symbol) locations along with the component locations?  Our vendors want separate files for top/bottom side components and surface mount/thru-hole components.  Add that along with extracting fiducial locations and this is a bit more then the standard report extraction can handle.

    Hi,

    You could also program your own skill routine and search through all mechanical symbols by name and make sure only the ones having a special name are outputted.

    Best regards,

    Ole
