As far as I know, there is no pick-place file format standard.  It
depends upon which manufacturer's machine is used.

I suggest that you contact your board stuffing house and ask them for
a document describing the file format used by their pick-place
machine.

If they say they don't have a document, then talk to their
manufacturing engineer.  It's his job to provide this detailed
information to customers.

If you're using an e-cheapo assembly house
and they don't have a document or know about their pick-place
machine's requirements, well, then you're getting what you
paid for.

This one is familiar.  I think we used it when we were trying to
figure out how to get our pick-place stuff to work.

Cheers,

Stuart
