I didn't use any BGAs on that board, though. Is the > issue purely BGA-related? > > -Dave It's not just BGAs/PGAs, I fixed the rotations to match IPC-7351 as described in the link below. In particular this affects most components on the bottom, since the rotation is supposed to be treated as clockwise on the bottom. It also fixes QFPs that have pin 1 in the top centre. (Works ok with pin 1 on top left too) It also fixes 2 pin components don't quite have their pins on the same axis.. I have also just had a large run built using an xy file built using this fix, and I didn't get queried by my assembler either. I can only assume that they are used to a variety of weird and wacky variations, and can easily juggle things until they look right. e.g: from: http://blog.screamingcircuits.com/2009/12/a-few-hints-of-the-centroid- file.html 'We will properly assemble both ways, but this now matched industry standard." Full description of the standard is here: http://screamingcircuits.typepad.com/files/understanding-the-centroid-file- r2-1.pdf Lilith
