Component manufactures also furnish libraries for these EDAs that comply to standard orientation.

Now, some places will in-fact process the Gerber files and create the centroid files for you (for a fee). > [@How to export to a decent XYRS file / bill of materials](http://forum.fritzing.org/t/how-to-export-to-a-decent-xyrs-file-bill-of-materials/2162/14): > > I think it is a great idea, I just don’t see FZ ever getting there… FZ in in beta, there are a lot of other things that need to be done first, and all the files are .svg, making it difficult to include the info required to generate the centroid.
