Most CAM editors these days can import an ODB++ file. What CAM editor do you have avaiable? Some of them can spit out a BOM from an imported ODB++ file.
A couple of weeks ago I started smt preparation .
In the past they did all the preparation from bom & pick-place with Excel and verified with drawings from client .
It's not easy and always error's .
So I'm looking for a better way and think at somekind of software .
(I found that with notepad you can see pick&place from ODB++)
