Hi Vicky, seems to be always the same dilemma with CAD people. My experience is that they can provide data in all possible formats, sometimes using scripts they write to create whatever output is needed. It needs a little diplomacy and the exact for

Vicki, Ask your CAD guys to give you the centroid X-Y data with reference designators in ASCII format. Then import that file into Excel. You can then change the fields and data into the format you need. Make sure you left justify the columns. Af

I am very familiar with AutoProgram and understand the default import formats for the software. AutoProgram wants a centroid file containing part number, ref des., X, Y, and theta. AutoProgram will not directly import an ASCII cad file. However, Ci

Vicki: The other responders make good points. Taking a slightly different, slightly more aggressive tact, you might try something like this: * Click on ... http://www.ssafl.com/bat_prod.htm ... and buy a unit of the proper size to fit your stature

Once you have those centroid-data you can do almost everything with them in a spreadsheet. I did it over the years many times getting what I needed. Just needs a little brainwork and a great knowledge of your p�n�p equipments configuration. You have

Once having those centroid-data using a spreadsheet to convert them to what ever I needed worked fine for me in many cases over years. It just needs a little brainwork and a good knowledge of machine configuration. CAM-software might do the job as we

What type of machine are you placing the PLCC68 with? We place PLCC84 on a Fuji QP242 and we use Hover-Davis electronic feeders. They are expensive but worth the money as you can change the pitch to many setting as long as the width remains the sam

I recently heard (but can�t remember the source) that radio receiving antennas much smaller than the quarter wavelength or so necessary to obtain sufficient signal strength were being developed. I think the process may be based on digitally correlati

I once long ago in a place far away had a digitizer that through a series of arms and encoders could be used to plot placement points on a PCB for which there was no CAD or Gerber data. I now find myself in need of this again but the digitizers I hav

Well it seems that every one has gone to lunch on the Bob Willis Forum so here are the winners of the Free �Lead Free Soldering Cook Book� Interactive CD ROMs for the best of most questions during the first few hours of the session. All you need to d
