Have a requirement that the librarian create a polarization indicator in silkscreen and assembly. We have several ways of doing this all dictated by what manufacturing requires.

Depends on what your assembler is expecting, I guess. Maybe something like "All polarized parts have their positive or cathode pin designed to be on the right when placed at 0° rotation." kind of thing? :) Another option would be to write a script that adds that information to the report, so each line would have "right" if at 0°, "Up" if at 90°, etc. -- George Patrick Tektronix, Inc.

They had not even asked for one of the 3rd party outputs like Valor, Fabmaster or Circuitcam, just the component report out of Allegro in .xls format. So how does that work? Does Allegro have a property you can attach in the footprint that will come out in any of those reports?
