Hi Dan,
Yes, that seems to have fixed the problem. My layout guy was able to
directly read in the netlist to PADS without any difficulty.
Thanks,

Sorry for the repost, but my previous post came up in the pick-and-place
thread on my email reader instead of being a new thread. (Not quite

There is always a bit of rat left between the endpoints of the pad/pin
and trace - not all of my pads line up nicely on the grid - even though
the trace overlaps the pin/pad by a substantial amount. I had this

I see two threads,
One on how to add a plugin to gerbv to allow for pick and place auto
programming from gerbers.
This could be done with or with out the help of an existing pick and
place file.
The second thread is how to make PCB create consistent pick and place
data so that the auto fit
The message that I heard was that a generic solution is needed for the
pick and place machines. That libraries from a number of cad programs
were constructed so that the x,y output from them wasn't ideal or even
suitable for programming the pick and place machines.
For a generic solution the gerbe
Hi all,
FWIW, most mechanical CAD packages I'm familiar with (and even gschem)
use a insertion point and a rotation angle in the definition of grouped
drawing entities (a.k.a. symbol, drawing block, ..., whatever it is
named) somewhere within the drawing file (a.k.a. schematic).
So my EUR 0.02 pr
