Can not speak for CircuitCam is made by Aegis Software I veliveve sound like need to get understanding of how tool is supposed to work to extract-create centroid positions. Using Gerber Only is a pattern match and cacluate logic process - ie make pac

Yes Aegis and Valor are good choices in terms of NPI, SMT programming , which one you choose will depend on other factors, Valor offers I feel a more rounded product, ie under one platform. Both offer CAD-BOM to SMT and Documentation, but Valor offer

Valors vPlan has documentation/WI tool, data feed into it is extracted from CAD/CAM/BOM , SMT Parts Allocation, Manual placement allocation etc and can add pictures, videos etc, should check this out also...

Also take a look at vplan from Mentor graphics(Valor) this has very powerful CAD/CAM to centroid capability...can generate Centroid data from Gerber - creates packages , polarities and assigns Refdes with easy to use tool...

Valors new vPlan (Vplan Studio) Documentation System is fairly powerful and can read all major CAD/CAM formats and of course ODB++ which all major EDA software providers now support ODB++ output. Documentation can have picture files, AVI,s manual pla

cman, Which placement machines do you use? What software do you use to program them? There are several solutions out there such as CAM CAD, Valor, CircuitCAM, whatever Unicam is called these days... I can't keep up with the acquisitions. None

Not that trying to sell anything, but Valors new vPlan system is a scalable software that can read gerbers and other CAM/CAD formats, can extract component positions, add polarities prepare job with BOM import, verify CAD to BOM and generate Topax-X

Have you gotten a quote for upgrading to FactoryLogix? Sure there are a lot of other functions in FLx that you won't bother using, but, the license can be tailored to just CAD/Gerber/BOM import, machine programming, and visual aids. You can also im

Hi there Siemens Valor Proceed Preparation is a alternative that I would say ticks your boxes as is more focused on PCBA NPI process , from Cad-Cam Data clean up SMT programming, Stencil Design, Assembly Panel Design, Test Engineering, DFA analysis
