[QUOTE]TUTORIAL: GENERATE CENTROIDS FROM GERBER, IMPORT BOM, and then EXPORT CENTROID
---------------------------
(1) Import Gerbers
(2) Assign Layer Types
(3) Freeze Silk Layer
(4) Build Components
* Start with high pin-count components first and work you way down to lower pin-count.
Note: For brevity I will only create a few components.
(5) ASSIGN REFERENCE DESIGNATORS
(6) IMPORT BOM
* Make sure to assign all appriorate columns and rows. Use Right-Click to display the menu.
Note: There were many RefDES not used because I didn't build all components.
(7) EXPORT CENTROID
* Check the Part Number and other fields you would like.[/QUOTE]
