#1 | Still no package shown for what's on the board datum

You have now added so that I can see what package that feeder contains, great!
BUT, I still don't know if the package in the PNP file is 0402 or 0603 etc, you must show the package type that is specified in the pnp file as well.
Also, i see that you export the package that the feeder specifies, rather than the package the pick n place file specifies when you export it to the .smt file, so that means that if the auto function matches wrong, there is no way to correct that unless you manually compare with the pick and place file.
In my mind, the pick and place file is the golden standard law, you can't change that when exporting in to the .smt file, you have then alternated the info and corrupted it.

It is shown in feeder list and for "gold standard" use unique part names as all other people to to prevent accidently wrong assignments.
Some people use a part number to identify parts, other a coding syle like 100nf_X5R_0603.
Ueseless to say there will be no change in V2 software to support this.

The feeder is master in any case because that's the reason to define feeder datas. If you assign a different non matching feeder the software show a warning icon and you can even set a filter on this.
If your data definitions for feeder assignment are inconsistent you need to corect this!
A feeder value define like "100nF" is not the right solution.
Even the 3 part name alias fields should be unique if used!
If you take a look in V2 softeware pick and place list grid you find the "Value" field (from pnp list) and the "Feeder Value" field showing assigned feeder value to compare if there is any wrong assignment.
PNPCreator craetes a warning icon to show this too.
If data values defined in a wrong way the software can not help to correct this sorry!
