Choose from available options and press button 'Next'Д¬ongratulations - You have exported a centroid file!ДЄutomated equipment is used to place the surface mount components on your pcbs. Go to menu: File | Export | Part Centroid File.Дў. Note: The centroid file is a comma separated file that can be loaded into almost any spreadsheet program or text editor.ДЎ. Note: You must at least have one or more parts defined before exporting to a centroid file. Repeat Step 3 - until all parts have been assigned their reference designators.

Note: Having the silkscreen visible is a great way to determine which reference designator to assign the the part.Д¤. Click into the edit control 'RefDes:', and type-in the correct reference designator. Note: You can use the arrow keys (up/down) to navigate through the parts list.ДЈ. If you want to also zoom in towards the selected part, make sure to check the item 'Zoom To Part' Note: When a part is selected from the list, it will be highlighted. Go to the Parts Tab Browser, and select the a part (from the list). Turn-off all layers except for Top Part & Top Silkscreen.Дў. Second Step: Assign Reference Designators to PartsДЎ. Turn off all layers except Bottom Paste & Bottom Silkscreen, and repeat steps 2-6. Now its time for the Bottom Side (if required)Д§.

Note: You can also add parts individually by using function: Insert Component (menu: Assembly / Insert Component.) Repeat Steps 2 thru 5, until all footprints on the paste layer have been completed. Note: You will notice (if Apply All is checked) that all similar footprints have been detected and assigned a generic reference designator value ( for example '?21' ).Д¦. Note: If Apply All is checked (recommended), Fab It! will go out and seek all similar footprints. If you have selected a component that is rotated 90 degrees on the board, than make sure to enter that here. Note: Enter Part Rotation as it appears on the board. Assign Part Description, and press OK when done. Note: Usually Pin One is the Top-Leftmost pin for Top side (assuming no rotation), and Top-Rightmost for Bottom side (assuming no rotation).ДҐ. Note: Add Parts requires flashed footprints and will ignore anything else, so it's fine to select a window around the entire part (any selected Silkscreen objects would be ignored).ДЈ. Note: For more information about object selection see Viewing & Selection Basics Note: This function requires that you select objects before proceeding.

Locate a footprint, and select the entire component. Turn-off all layers except for Top Paste & Top Silkscreen.Дў.
