[PCB_FORUM] Re: Pick and Place output from Allegro...

From a Cadence Solution :

Below is an example of an extract command text file to retrieve the symbol center

X-Y locations. 



-----cut here--- do not include this line---------

# #=comment line

# Component view

  COMPONENT



# list Components on TOP only

  SYM_MIRROR = "NO"

  

# Data to extract

  REFDES

  COMP_DEVICE_TYPE

  COMP_CLASS

#  COMP_PART_NUMBER

  SYM_CENTER_X

  SYM_CENTER_Y

  SYM_ROTATE

#  COMP_INSERTION_CODE

#  COMP_DEPTH_STOP

#  COMP_HEIGHT



-----cut here--- do not include this line---------



This command file will return symbol center locations based on the 'place_bound'

data. 





To run the 'extracta' program:

   - Open a shell (DOS) window in the same directory as the board and extracta

   command file

   - Enter 'extracta <design.brd> <command_file_name> <output_file_name>'



Where:

design.brd        = name of the design

command_file_name = extract command text file created above

output_file_name  = file name that contains the output data



The following represents a sample output where component U1 is missing the

'place_bound' data.



A!REFDES!COMP_DEVICE_TYPE!COMP_CLASS!SYM_CENTER_X!SYM_CENTER_Y!SYM_ROTATE!

S!U2!74LS10-1!IC!2700.0!1900.0!0.000!

S!U1!74LS10-1!IC!!!0.000!



S!P1!CONN12-1!IO!1250.0!1850.0!0.000!

Austin,
 
Some suppliers may request information that is different from the standard  PLACED COMPONENT.  In that case they will provide you with a command file that lists the info and the order
of in which they need to extracted from Allegro.
 
You can then start an Allegro executable in the command line called extracta.  It needs the .brd, the command file (what to extract) and the name of the output files specified as arguments.
 
An easier method is the supplier will provide you with a program like Fab master which basically does the same thing mentioned above with a GUI

Austin, have you found something yet?
I searched my Allegro installation for these views but did not find them.
What I have used since working with Allegro is the PLACED COMPONENT Report.
I haven’t been asked to provide something else yet. Give it a try.

Hi Tripp,
 
Thanks.  No option for any format...only origin.  I guess I output this, and
give it to the assembly house and they massage it into the format their
machine needs...
 
Regards,
 
Austin
