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 S.

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. Jim S.
