SMD components often have to be glued to the PCB first so that they cannot fall off during soldering. TARGET outputs a CSV file containing the coordinates of the glue dots and an indication of the area of the purple dot as an indication of the amount of glue at this point.
You can find the output in the menu "File / Input/Output formats / Production / Glue dispenser information". Many component packages in the TARGET database are already equipped with a small purple glue dot:
(Image 1: Purple glue dots under the packages)
The output CSV file can look like this, for example:

You can also see the field "Area[mm²]" which can give you an indication of the amount of glue. If you want to adjust the glue point for several components, the Selection Wizard can be useful.
