### Generating PCBA Manufacturing files
- TBD
Generally speaking, PCBA shops are going to want a file telling them the exact placement of all the components. This is referred to as "Centroid file", "Component Placement (.pos)" and "XY file".
You can generate this in KiCad by switching to PCB Editor and choosing `File` -> `Fabrication Outputs` -> `Component Placement (.pos)`.
Check with your PCBA shop to see exactly how they want this file formatted.
