PCB Layout CAD : PCB Settings

Component Coordinates

Export component position coordinates from the PCB for component mounting.
You can select the Component Coordinate Origin Point from "Component Origin Point"/"Pad Center".

For more details about opening the PCB Settings screen, refer to About PCB Settings.

Sample Component Coordinates

A prerequisite is that processing is done using each mounting device format according to the BOM, so components that are "Set as Unmounted Component" will also be exported.


Component Coordinates
Item Name Content

Unit

The unit can be selected from "mm, "mil", or "inch".

Coordinates

It is possible to select from "Component Origin Point"/"Pad Center".
Component Origin Point": Exports component coordinates according to the location where the Origin Point was placed during component creation.
"Pad Center": Exports component coordinates according to the Pad Center coordinates of the component.

Offset X

When the Board Origin Point and Reference Origin Point for the component coordinates are different, it can be adjusted. The X Coordinate is offset.

Offset Y

When the Board Origin Point and Reference Origin Point for the component coordinates are different, it can be adjusted. The Y Coordinate is offset.

Mirror

Use this control to generate a component coordinates file with the flipped coordinate information. Use the drop-down list to choose from the following:

No Mirror : A component coordinates file is output with the viewed-from-top coordinate information.
Horizontal Mirror : A component coordinates file is output with the horizontally flipped coordinate information.
Vertical Mirror   : A component coordinates file is output with the vertically flipped coordinate information.

File Type

Use this control to specify the file type. Use the drop-down list to choose Text or CSV.

 

Exporting Component Coordinates

There are the following methods for executing Component Coordinate Export.

- Click the icon of the PCB Settings Component Coordinate screen
- Open a PCB document, [Project] => [Component Coordinate Export] => [Component Coordinate Export]
- Batch Output
