I usually send it to smtervice@comcast.net They do it for me about $ 25 per program

I would like to know more about how your software will "automatically extract" centroid. I'm assuming people who only own "Viewers" would use it to get centroid data... except how would that person digitize the aperture groupings into components? If

Hi, Basically the software extracts Centroid data from the Gerber automatically. We wish to export the centroid data in different pick and place machine formats so that this file can be imported in the machine directly. To be able to do so I need sa

I am with a low volume hi mix CM. We have always taught our pick & place manually on the machine. We now have a newer auto programming machine but for many reasons (not uncommon for CM's) I do not have access to the original cadd data to get the ca

Gerber standard has been around for long time as a fabrication data model for PCB makers, but not very useful for assemblers as no centroid data is actually present in the data. Also netlists are no supported and have to be calcualated with software

It's quite easy: 1. Import the gerber file into GCpowerplace. 2. Select the pads that you wish to convert into centroid's. This is usually all of the pads. 3. Select the automatic extraction button. The software recognizes certain common patterns 02

I had someone suggest that they weren't really necessary as long as your process is good. Is this just a way to help you keep an eye on your process? I was thinking, as we set up our line, our money would be more well spent with controlling the pro

Depends on the programming that needs to be done - there is free software available such as GERBV - 'http://gerbv.geda-project.org/' but not that easy to use. For comparing BOM's there is some free software called MELD - http://meldmerge.org/ that's
