<p>Generates the file with position information for the PCB components, used by the pick and place machine.
This output is what you get from the File/Fabrication output/Footprint position (.pos) file menu in pcbnew.</p>
<p>Type: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">position</span></code></p>
<p>Category: <strong>PCB/fabrication/assembly</strong></p>
<p>Parameters:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p><strong>comment</strong> <span class="target" id="index-1"></span>: [string=] A comment for documentation purposes. It helps to identify the output.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>dir</strong> <span class="target" id="index-2"></span>: [string=./] Output directory for the generated files.
If it starts with <cite>+</cite> the rest is concatenated to the default dir.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>name</strong> <span class="target" id="index-3"></span>: [string=] Used to identify this particular output definition.
Avoid using <cite>_</cite> as first character. These names are reserved for KiBot.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>options</strong> <span class="target" id="index-4"></span>: [dict] Options for the <cite>position</cite> output.</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Valid keys:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><strong>format</strong> <span class="target" id="index-5"></span>: [string=ASCII] [ASCII,CSV] Format for the position file.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>only_smd</strong> <span class="target" id="index-6"></span>: [boolean=true] Only include the surface mount components.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>output</strong> <span class="target" id="index-7"></span>: [string=%f-%i%I%v.%x] Output file name (%i=top_pos|bottom_pos|both_pos, %x=pos|csv).
Important: when using separate files you must use <cite>%i</cite> to differentiate them. Affected by global options.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>separate_files_for_front_and_back</strong> <span class="target" id="index-8"></span>: [boolean=true] Generate two separated files, one for the top and another for the bottom.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>units</strong> <span class="target" id="index-9"></span>: [string=millimeters] [millimeters,inches,mils] Units used for the positions. Affected by global options.</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">bottom_negative_x</span></code> <span class="target" id="index-10"></span>: [boolean=false] Use negative X coordinates for footprints on bottom layer.</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">columns</span></code> <span class="target" id="index-11"></span>: [list(dict)|list(string)] Which columns are included in the output.</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Valid keys:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><strong>id</strong> <span class="target" id="index-12"></span>: [string=] [Ref,Val,Package,PosX,PosY,Rot,Side] Internal name.</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">name</span></code> <span class="target" id="index-13"></span>: [string=] Name to use in the output file. The id is used when empty.</p></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">dnf_filter</span></code> <span class="target" id="index-14"></span>: [string|list(string)=_none] Name of the filter to mark components as not fitted.
A short-cut to use for simple cases where a variant is an overkill.</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">include_virtual</span></code> <span class="target" id="index-15"></span>: [boolean=false] Include virtual components. For special purposes, not pick &amp; place.
Note that virtual components is a KiCad 5 concept.
For KiCad 6+ we replace this concept by the option to exclude from position file.</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pre_transform</span></code> <span class="target" id="index-16"></span>: [string|list(string)=_none] Name of the filter to transform fields before applying other filters.
A short-cut to use for simple cases where a variant is an overkill.</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">quote_all</span></code> <span class="target" id="index-17"></span>: [boolean=false] When generating the CSV quote all values, even numbers.</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">right_digits</span></code> <span class="target" id="index-18"></span>: [number=4] number of digits for mantissa part of coordinates (0 is auto).</p></li>

<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">variant</span></code> <span class="target" id="index-20"></span>: [string=] Board variant to apply.</p></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><p><strong>type</strong> <span class="target" id="index-21"></span>: [string=] Type of output.</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">category</span></code> <span class="target" id="index-22"></span>: [string|list(string)=] The category for this output. If not specified an internally defined category is used.
Categories looks like file system paths, i.e. <strong>PCB/fabrication/gerber</strong>.
The categories are currently used for <cite>navigate_results</cite>.</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">disable_run_by_default</span></code> <span class="target" id="index-23"></span>: [string|boolean] Use it to disable the <cite>run_by_default</cite> status of other output.
Useful when this output extends another and you dont want to generate the original.

we recommend to add outputs only to existing groups. You can create an empty group if
needed.</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">output_id</span></code> <span class="target" id="index-26"></span>: [string=] Text to use for the %I expansion content. To differentiate variations of this output.</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">priority</span></code> <span class="target" id="index-27"></span>: [number=50] [0,100] Priority for this output. High priority outputs are created first.
Internally we use 10 for low priority, 90 for high priority and 50 for most outputs.</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">run_by_default</span></code> <span class="target" id="index-28"></span>: [boolean=true] When enabled this output will be created when no specific outputs are requested.</p></li>
