EPickNPlace or SmtAssistant with Altium

Is anyone successfully using
EPickNPlace (
https://www.eigerdesign.com/epicknplace.html
)
or the "original"
SmtAssistant (
https://www.alciom.com/en/smtassistant/
)
and has found out how to configure Altium to export a pick&Place file which is directly usable with these tools for manual placement?
I got a lot of errors and had no success :-(
There is a problem With the PKP file: 0001: X cannot be parsed to an float value ()

I've used SMTassistant with P&P from Altium. I've attached screen caps from the outjobs dialog, and the specific assembly output configuration.

Are you aware of "Interactive HTML Bom"? It is a similar program, and it may be worth looking into. It is designed around KiCad, but KiCad's importer for altium files has also gotten quite good.

Thanks for reminding us of that, Doctorandus_P. There is in fact a port to Altium which runs as an addon:

I knew "Interactive HTML Bom" but Boastools are new for me - they look really great, no need for EPickNPlace or SmtAssistant anymore! Thanks!!!
