[PCB_FORUM] Placement backannotated to Capture

Hi,
does anybody know a way to backannotate a placement to Capture? The idea would be to generate a BOM (a BOM variant) from Capture CIS with XY coordinates of components. At the moment we provide two files per assembly 1) BOM with listed components and their description, 2) Pick and place which needs to be cross referenced with BOM by refdes (it contains all parts even those not placed). How do you handle this?
One more question regarding pick and place. One of our subcontractors (assembly of a prototype) requested P&P with origin at the left bottom corner of the board for components when looking at the board from top side and the same corner when the board is reversed (bottom side up) what effectively means that origin is different for top side components and for bottom side components from the design point of view. Do you know how to satisfy such requirement and have you ever had the same request? Normally I place the origin at one of fiducials and an assembly house is happy enough. 

thank you,
