Assuming Protel 99, the PIK file is controlled by the CAM Manager. A pick 
and place generation file is created in the CAM Outputs for [pcbfilename] 
folder. If you have no such folder, with the PCB open, run File/Cam 
Manager. This will start up a wizard which will guide you through the 
creation of the folder and one CAM control file. To create another, open 
the CAM Outputs for ... folder and right-click in its window, then select 
Insert Pick and Place. A dialog will pop up that allows you to select 
output format(s) and units.
