But that makes no sense.
If you have the footprint right why cannot you assign a refdes to
the allegro symbol? Why should allegro care what tool the netlist
came from once it is imported? It would be like placing a spare
component and then once the netlist is in assigning the refdes.
I could be wrong, but still, it does not add up to me.

Somebody try it, please and let us know.

This is a perfect use for a module.



I don't know if you can do this without Concept-HDL, though.

    I have been asked to create a footprint containing the following
    information:

    A bga containing all of it's fan-out recommended by the spec.

    all of it's supporting decoupling caps, connected per the EE's rules.

    So every time I place this component it will have the particular BGA
    and  the supporting caps placed and also routed to the power and
    ground pins per the schematic.

    I am using 15.2 and VueLogic front end.

    Does anyone know if there is a way to make this work as a complete
    intelligent footprint you placing it as a block of components with
    routing?

    Thanks

    Steve
