Sorry I don't know if i made that clear in my other post, but that is the way i would like to do this, just create a small model of the component and ideally sort the excel file (centroids x/y coords) by part number (so all 1 ohm resistors, then all 2 ohm resistors, and so on).
So i would be able to "plot" all the centroids for one part number, then place the extrusion on all of those points, and then repeat for all other components.
I am working on getting the data, i will send you that info when i can get a hold of someone.
