Posted - 05 May 2015 : 22:31:31 Hello.
Is there any way to know the position of the "PCB Panel origin" on the Board? (in Report Maker)
I need report to make a file with the coordinates of the components relative to the corner of a Board or to a "PCB Panel origin" (if defined). (to make pick&place file for assembly machine).
Best Regards, Mikle.

Thank you. A very necessary functions. I do not want to take on the additional restrictions on the location of elements and styles.

Posted - 06 May 2015 : 08:53:35 Attached is my report format file for generating centroid x/y placement files which will run on panels or PCBs if it's of help to your immediate need.
If it is run on a panel then you get a column for pcb number, if it's run on an individual PCB then this column doesn't appear in the output.
I usually set the origin myself at my "A" datum or the bottom left corner of the panel or PCB at the start of the design phase.
