Importing CSV file / coordinate bump map into Footprint Editor

Jacob Mauermann
Jacob Mauermann

Is there any way to import a .csv file or text file with a list of bump coordinate locations into Footprint Editor?  I have a large flip chip with ~2500 bumps that I need to import coordinates for.  Unfortunately the bumps on the flip chip are not in a standard grid pattern and pin numbering varies as well.  I was hoping there is a way to import a list of all 2500 coordinates and their corresponding pin number and place a pad stack at all those locations, but I can't seem to find a way to do it.  I see there is a way to export "Bare-chip Pad Coordinates" in Footprint editor, which exports the x-coordinate, y-coordinate, Pin No., Angle, PadStack, & Pad Layer for an existing footrpint.  I'm hoping to import a file exactly like that.

Any help or guidance anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello Jacob,

    Not sure you are asking this in CR-5000 or CR-8000.  First I will show you how to do in CR-5000.

    In Footprint Editor, from menu select [Utilities] > [Parametric Registration].

    Then select icon of [Import Coordinates(Bare-Chip) table].

    If you have CSV file format in the what shows in online help then in the Import Coordinates(Bare-Chip) table dialog would display something like this.

    The file I use above picture looks like this.

    For more detail about this please reference online help of [Parametric Registration Help].

    If your company bought license module call ZX0539 Package Basic Module, then you can use BGA-F Wizard tool from CAD File Manager.

    BGA-F file is also in CSV format and can have more detail information. And this tool will make BGA-F file from other format in CSV file.

     

    If this is for CR-8000, then only way to do is import BGA-F file.

    In CR-8000 Components Editor - Footprint Editor, under [Utility] tab, [Import] > [BGA-F].

    To create BGA-F, please reference CR-8000 Design Force online help.

    I hope these information help you solve your question.

    Regards,

    Taka
