Further to the question here

I want to know how the centroid point is calculated in Eagle software?

enter image description here Above picture shows the coordinates of the 2-pin SMD connector @ (51.7,26.4).

But when I exported pick and place file and imported in Excel, it showed:

enter image description here

So basically, mid-Y coordinate shifted from 26.4 to 25.46.

I'm about to give this to PCBA, I need to make sure it'll be placed at the right place or not.

I believe the centroid is calculated from the centers of the outlying pads, so in the above footprint the centroid would be located in the middle left-right and vertically about where the white cross is.
