John,
Yes, I use the wizard often, but this particular footprint does not have a 
single pattern to be able to utilize this tool.

Jim
There is a Bga generator in the packaging product that does what you are 
looking for.

Subject:        [PCB_FORUM] Skill file for placeing pins for a large BGA

Hey folks,

Using Allegro version 15.5.1

I’m hoping that someone knows of a skill file available that can place pins for 
a very complicated ceramic/BGA configuration (5000 plus pins).

The pins have varied numbers, including the typical A1 through AZ##, and E1 
through EZ##. What I’m working with here is two BGA’s within the same package. 
Silicone on silicone. The pin positioning is also varied. The outer BGA pin 
array is a standard pattern, but the inner BGA pins are not. 

I have an XL spread sheet that lists all of the pin numbers and their X & Y 
coordinates. 

Is there a skill file that anyone knows of that can insert the pin number and 
place the pins, sourcing an XL spreadsheet or even a simple text file, in their 
required locations?

Keep in mind the spreadsheet is very easily manipulated to accommodate the 
skill file. Meaning, I can put all of the pin numbers & coordinate information 
in one cell, or divide between 3 or more cells.

Without some kind of automated method, I fear for the accuracy of the symbol. 
(not to mention the mind-numbing process of verification)

Thank you in advance. Any input would be appreciated.
