Hi technos,

lately I noticed the group is getting smaller, 1011 recipients, but since
the quality of the forum did not diminish, I assume all the big boys are
still there. And this is reassuring.

Now, to get to my question. Our inspectors spend days to write the values of
each part on the assembly drawings. This helps them inspect faster, but in
terms of setup cost it sends everything through the roof. Not to mention the
ECO control.

I tried of course Daan's Maestro and it does a fantastic job when you look
for a particular component. What I need is something that goes beyond and it
would import the shapes of the components plus the values right inside these
shapes.

The question is: is anybody aware of the possibility to generate this kind
of information right from the CAD system? Just another exported file, right
at the source, by the PCB designer. If not, any software available that
would do this?

Thanks,
Ioan
