Hello All,
It's been awhile but I have a question for the contract manufacturers out
there.  Understanding that each placement machine requires a data translator
(i.e. CIMbridge) to provide a friendly data format for ease of programming
and setup, but what is the preferred data format that you require from your
customers?
One other question:  Is there a preferred industry accepted standard data
format?

The reason for my question is that we have multiple suppliers and are
attempting to get our CAD folks in tune with our CMs needs.  Thanks in
advance for your inputs.
