Ed, I've seen this problem occasionally when using "Fanout by Pick". Seems like it happens to some bga's but not all. Cadence was unable to reproduce this problem. Don ...........................

The design is in mils to 2 decimal places. The vias are in a 0.8 mm BGA (spaced at 31.50 mils apart). Somehow the group of vias within the rectangle pictured below shifted by 0.10 mils sometime during my edits - cause unknown... It is important to note that I did not change the database resolution - it has remained (mils to two decimal places). The only thing I changed was the routing grid which I switched between 25 mils, 5 mils and 0.1 mils as I was working in different areas of the layout and I was not working in the area where the vias shifted.
