You can use Report Writer for this.


Output-->ReportWriter, select Physical board data, and hit OK.

In reportwriter select Query-->Interactive query

In the 'Tables' column select 'Tcomp'. In the 'Fields to show' column select 'Tcomp.RefDesignator', Tcomp.X, Tcomp.Y, Tcomp.Rot and Tcomp.Side'.
Hit the button with the little 'man' (top left) and the report is there.


You can sort the report and save it to a file.

In Expedition, you want to generate a Generic AIS file. To do this, do a File->Export->General Interfaces and select Generic AIS.

If you have scripting enabled, there is an example script called AIS.vbs that is basically the same report, but it would allow you to customize the report to your needs. This file can be found at C:\MentorGraphics\2007EE\SDD_HOME\standard\examples\pcb\Automation\Scripts

Can you assist me to customize scripts?

Hi Rajkumar,

I will give small tips I hope that is you want,

Run the command “pr -file -x” in the placement finished file ( Keyin command)

After completion a file named as “xyplace.dat” is generated and stored in the folder as " filename\pcb\config "
