The machine that I've worked with (a samsung) accepted space/tab/comma separated files (and some others too). Obviously those can also be imported into excel. Unless the parts are created perfectly, and are coming in the form you expect (reel/tube), there is typically a small amount of manipulation required (e.g. rotation) which the machine programmer will do (what helps there is to group all like components together - which they would do in excel). _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
