Are you sure you mean pick and place files? Or does the manufacturer need centroid data to make their own pick and place files? Or they might even be able to use ascii CAD data to generate pick and place files. Look for an export function. Probably

A former associate was quite pleased with product called ScanCad. If you e-mail me here at SMTnet, I'll get you in touch with him. I believe you could scan a bare pcb fab and extract centroids. Mark

I dont know if this will help but try www.gerbtool.com. They offer a free trial of their software and are prety good on tech support. Good luck, Rick

Hello What is fastest way to incoperate centroid? I have Camtastic and Protel, but I always have format X-Y coordinates. If not our SANYO pick&place will not recognized them. Thanks, EL

Is this problem with local fiducials or global? Is the problem on the same equipment? Is this a cad file o centroid? How are you measure the coordinates?

For extracting centroid you can use GC-PLACE or CAM-CAD but for it you need to ask the ASC file from your customer.

Hi Mark, You can use the software called GC-PLACE to convert centroid, there are alots of SMT process engineer using it. Regards Steve USA STENCILS

We are using the front end of a MI generator software package (unidoc) to convert gerber to create centroid files to be used on a Mydata9 pick & place and an Orbitech AOI machine. What is everyone else using? We only are interested in the conversi

Hi RLM Can you explain in more detail about using GC Place for centroid extraction. Thanks a lot
