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". |
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. |
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
