Pick and place file formats
457 1 Aug 20.2019, 17:47:21

I'm trying to have PCBs assembled, but due to lack of requirements, and maybe my misunderstanding, the pick and place files generated by Diptrace seem to not be suitable for the assembly house. If anyone is familiar with these, can you compare good.txt with bad.txt?
Seems like they want the following format:
Mid X         Mid Y         Ref X         Ref Y         Pad X         Pad Y      Rotation
While Diptrace only exports X,Y,rotation, and place area width and height...

it seems to me that for almost all standard parts, the X and Y centroid and the rotation is all they should need.
The Ref XY is, I think, the coordinate of pin 1. what Pad XY is, maybe the outer dimensions of the part.  That might be helpful for setting up the vision.
