XY data needed for board house

Former Member

How can the part XY data be extracted from an EAGLE brd file?

Is there a certain file format a board house needs for part placement?

 

Have not seen where that is in the manual (unless it goes by another

name..)

 

 

Thanks

    Attached is one that I wrote for our pick & place machine.  It basically

    emits a CSV that gets massaged with a C program and a database.  The

    database determines which part gets loaded into which feeder, and which

    feeder gets loaded into which slot on the P&P machine.

     

    Enjoy,
