Pick&Place

In the P&P file, either txt or CSV, the second line is the project location and folder name. It is exposing some unnecessary data, can we ask Altium no to include that line?

🤷 We can ask Altium for anything. Altium has a forum for reporting bugs and making feature requests.

@JohnsonMiller we discussed custom pick&place in some posts on this forum. That could maybe help? https://designhelp.fedevel.com/forum...-p-file-format

@robertferanec No, he is referring to the fact that Altium often places the full path in the output. P&P, ODB rules file, etc. If you put the project in a folder that has the customer name in the path, it will be exported and before you know, the EMS and fabricator can find out who the customer is.
It is something that needs to be addressed by Altium. Security is not only needed for Altium 365, but also for the standard export.

@qdrives ; Thank you! it is exact description of my concern.

- I have never thought about PATH this way. You are right, interesting.
