Hi,
There is a $69 tool I wrote. Go up to www.partsync.com and download
BOM Builder. It has a 30 day free trial. The checking is more visual but
automatic checks can be done. The main issue is having "Package Models"
and PCB locations / rotations.
The "Package Data" is in a state of change right now, I am adding data
to support 3D part generation.
One item I have done in the past is what I call "Pin In Paste". I took
the metal definitions for packages and verified that the metal areas
overlay the solder paste openings by at least 95%. Yep, some board fail.
Look at www.kondner.com/files/BB10B_SMT.pdf for a sample with RED
pins in light blue paste.
Don't forget to read the manual! :-)
You mention a number of hard to believe items. Yep, absolutely true.
I personally processed a lot of job when starting up a proto assembly
company, they are all true.
