Exporting pad data for Phoenix X-ray machine

Hi all, we have Phoenix Micromex 180 x-ray machine for PCB inspection at

my workplace. Its software can greatly automate creation of new

inspection programs for boards, but as an input, it requires data with

component and pad coordinates. Two separate files are needed: 1. one

which lists all components, their names, package type and coordinates.

2. one which lists pad shapes and coordinates (relative to package's

origin mark) for all package types used on a board. Here are shortened

examples of needed file contents:

Component file:

1. Board dimensions: X size, Y size, layer height

DIMENSIONS: 130 90 1.6

1. RefDes    PackageID    X-shift    Y-shift    ROT    PinCount   

Side    MountType

C7               27    30    50    0    2    TOP       THROUGH  

R7               26    121    51    0    2    TOP       THROUGH  

V18             19    23    40    0    3    TOP       SMD      

C58             14    99    7    90    2    TOP       SMD      

V30             16    6    63    0    2    TOP       SMD      

V15             19    23    20    0    3    TOP       SMD      

C8               27    30    45    0    2    TOP       THROUGH  

C43             13    104    77    0    2    TOP       SMD      

Pad coordinates file:

PackageID    label    X-shift    Y-shift    Rotation    Width   

Height    Shape

6    1    -0.65    0    0    0.9    0.7    RECTANGLE

6    2    0.65    0    0    0.9    0.7    RECTANGLE

15    A    -1.7    0    90    1.8    1.4    OBLONG

15    K    1.7    0    90    1.8    1.4    OBLONG

22    A1    -12.06    12.06    0    0.6    0    ROUND

22    A10    -0.63    12.06    0    0.6    0    ROUND

22    A11    0.63    12.06    0    0.6    0    ROUND

22    A12    1.9    12.06    0    0.6    0    ROUND

22    A13    3.17    12.06    0    0.6    0    ROUND

27    1    -1.25    0    0    1.3    0    ROUND

27    2    1.25    0    0    1.3    0    ROUND

Obviously, the most "clean" solution would be to write my own ULP to

generate the files. But that would be very time-consuming, so I want to

try some alternative solutions before I do that. I figured the component

file could be easily obtained by editing the standard Eagle partlist,

for example by a relatively simple MS Excel macro. But I found no way

how to obtain the pad data, or at least not in the format needed. I know

there is export-ict-netlist-pad-coordinates.ulp, but this one exports

the pad coordinates relative to the entire board, not relative to

package's origin mark. And the information about pad shape is missing

completely in it.

So my question is: *is there some existing ULP which can produce such

pad data*?

Just in case you were interested, here is some info about our x-ray

machine:
