On this preview screen you can alter the rotations and spot any issues. In the CAD Conversion screen previous to this one, you import the pick and place file and tell ePlace what each column is, the units used and match the part numbers or values to your internal part numbers the machine already knows & mark through-hole or no fits as ignore. Here is one of the screens in Essemtecs ePlace as an example. SMT-Maestro is free but has vanished off the internet, you can find a dropbox link in the SMTNet threads. There is also SMT-Maestro which shows a little box for each device with a pin 1 marker, but is mostly a tool for merging a pick and place file with a BOM and outputting a new pick & place file with the columns you actually want, in the order you want. Other options are Aegis circuitcam express, Unisoft or Fab3000 (which sort does what you want but is more useful for creating a pick and place file from gerber). I think by and large what you are looking for is normally a tool provided by the p&p manufacturer or built into the pick& place software itself.
