Allegro PCB --> Export Placement ????

split63

I have a two sided PCB and the goal is to generate two placement files; one for the top, and one for the bottom.

How is this accomplished?

Currently if I run File --> Export --> Placement, it generates one file with the top and bottom components mixed together in one file.  Also the bottom side coordinates appear to be relative to the top origin looking through the board.

Tools --> Reports -->Component report  seems to generate the same mixed result.

  • I copied the files and made the changes as described.  The two files did show up in the report window.  When I run them, the report file has a header, but no data.
