Ordered ball array?

LSIpkgCad
LSIpkgCad over 16 years ago

Does anyone have any ideas or code to step through the ball array of a package in APD in order, from the lowest to the highest?  Eventually, I need to build a color-coded matrix of the balls in an external design system but getting the ordered info would go a long way in getting me there.

THANKS!!

    This could be done outside of the tool, no idea how to do this in APD itself, maybe SKILL?

    I guess you mean by "step through in order" that, for example, A10 should come after A9 and not after A1, and so on? This is called a "natural sort", try your favourite search engine for "natural sort code" and you should get a bunch of source code examples, then "simply" adapt one of these for your specific needs.
