Sorry Brad Bit too late in the evening for me. But still should have been a no brainer for them, most placer off line software will accept the inputs just as you supplied it, as separate files, usually there are settings for either multi board/different image or multi board/same image, even is some of the most low end machines I have used, and even some of their (still DOS based) software. Should have taken them less than 15 minutes to load. The time is in feeder and part no allocation, which is when the BOM xref is sometimes handy, if you use them all the time they should also be able to build a default alias or start up file for you, so the info is on record. I wonder why we still keep our own production capacity, when the trend is to always outsource.... Best Regards John A.
