Export for Board population

What files do I need to generate for the business that is going to populate

the board with SMD components?

    Pick and place data can be generated with mountsmd.ulp.

    Richard already mentioned pick and place data.  However, some assemblers

    want to do that themselves.  They usually want part centroids, and that is

    not necessarily the package origin as defined in Eagle.

     

    They will want the solder paste mask for any side of your board that will

    have suface mount components on it.  This is just another Gerber file

    generated by the Eagle CAM processor.

     

    In addition to the machine readable solder paste mask, I always supply a

    board drawing, BOM, and parts index.  I have a nice ULP and scripts for

    generating the board drawings.  The ULP finds the extent of the board in

    each dimension, and adds grid lines, coordinate labels, and a legend.  The

    scripts adjust the lookup tables so this can be used to view the top or

    bottoms sides of the board.

     

    The parts index is a text file showing the location of each part on the

    board (and on the schematic, but assembly houses don't get schematics and

    don't care), using the coordinates of the board drawing.  This is

    particularly useful when components are spaced so tight that some of the

    designators didn't make it to the silkscreen.  I define all my library

    parts so that each part has its designator listed in small type in the

    TDocu layer.  The TDocu layer is shown in solid black on the board drawing,

    but doesn't show up at all on the silkscreen.

     

    All the ULPs, scripts, and other Eagle utilities I use for this process are

    available in my Eagle Tools release from

    http://www.embedinc.com/pic/dload.htm.
