Hi,
I am using the Altium designer tool for my projects.
Recently I came across one issue related to PCB assembly that is as follows.
I made one double sided board with SMD components on both sides.
I want to assemble this board on a Pick and Place machine so for that I have made a stencil of this PCB.
Top side and bottom side are on the same stencil.
In Altium designer there is provision to create a pick and place file for this PCB.
In this I had faced one issue, I took the left side of PCB bottom side as Origin, with respect to this origin I got the XY coordinates and orientation of all the components.
Top side components coordinates are proper but bottom side components are not proper.
Actually while assembling we flip the PCB then the bottom side of the PCB comes to the top side then all the coordinates of bottom side components get Y flip.
In Altium there is provision for Y flip for bottom side components but it just negates Y coordinates and it also won't affect the orientation.
Altium designer gives top view coordinates of components with respect to origin but for bottom side PCB its wont work.
Please guide me on this.
