Pos file counts 6 components?

Manufacturing
#1

Hi guys,

So i generated my pos file and it says 6 components, can this be because of the trough hole resistors i use?

#2

not - enough - information - to - work - with …

#3

ok, i have 94 components 4 SMD and 90 DIP/hole trough resistors. I when i generate the pos file (kicad 4.06) i get component count: 6

I have no idea why

#4

The pos file is I think only for SMD components, but then you should have 4.

How many do you think you should have?

#5

I think so too, if i force it i get 6. Not sure why

#6

This will cause footprints to be listed in the .pos file.
If you got the .pos file, just open it and check which components are inside… example:
