Hi Tom

All you have to do when creaing your component library so that your pick and 
place machine will not encountered any problem is

1, Your component must have fixed origin ( you can either choose center of the 
package or the pin no. suggest use the center of the package
2. fixed component rotation when do component footprint

  I've always thought this was a funny issue.  The component report includes a
  rotation column, but it is a rotation from an arbitrarily drawing footprint,
  so it is useless data to the assembly house.

  I think that is why many of them prefer the fabmaster data.

  I have never been asked this before, but a cm asked why I had no
  polarization sense in the pick and place cad data. i.e. for diodes and
  tantalums.  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?
