valors vplan could be of interest here, you can have a small setup that can read native ASCII Cad file export from Zuken - ie not worry about centroid export from Zuken. It can read in the actual CAD DB from Zuken, or import ODB++ from Zuken.
You have many tools like bom to cad, rotation correction centroid, correction tools and virtual sticky tape merge that make the final centroid file validated very quickly....
Just a idea and you would have to investigate what would work for you.
