Date: Friday, December 27, 1996 4:43PM Anyone know of a way to automatically create defect data scatter diagrams? I'm looking to have the defects "scattered" and plotted on the assembly drawings to pictorially track defect locations and failure trends. We have 100's of assemblies and our customer is asking for this data and we don't want to generate this by hand. We have gerber data with reference designators with x-y coordinates and we have assembly drawing files and we have a test (ICT & FT) failures database by reference designators. Thanks for any ideas, suggests, or help!
