I use kicad and JLCPCB and it takes quite a long time to generate all of the manufacturing files for SMTA. It would be really nice if this plugin could export the BOM CSV and the footprint position CSV files too. Also it would be nice if it could manipulate the exported CSV files so the column names would match what the manufactureres automatic importer expects.

In my investigation, generating pos files is not currently provided as a Python API and is not easy (5.99). I would like to consider it when it is supported in the future.

KiBot can currently generate position files.

I even added some special support for JLCPCB from JLCKicadTools.

Other manufacturers could have special requirements.
