What did it say when it crashed? And what version of windows are you using? Note that the Windows version is experimental, and is not well tested.... > I also can't find any info on the specs for the XYRS file.

Each machine vendor has its own file format. Fortunately, most formats are just ASCII CSV with X, Y, rotation and side info recorded in a human readible format. Gerbv tries to guess what your pick/place file looks like, but it is not omniscient. You can always use a spreadsheet program to reorder and manipulate your XYRS file if need be. > My assembly house is telling me that my XYRS file has the rotations > backwards, but it seems to me that the reference is arbitrary. Interesting..... What sense do they use to define rotations? CW or CCW?
