Skill code to evaluate all components area (Accumulative Place bound area)

Hi I am starting a very small and dense design with many 0.5mm BGA's with BBV,About 1000 comps. I am afraid that the total available PCB area for component placement is not enough. Is there out there any Skill that sums up all components place bound area ? So I can compare it to board’s available placement area ? and not end up placement with components left outside the board ;-) BTW : There is a similar function inside the Mentor Expedition. Best Regards Roby

Hi.
I have code that gives the absolute areas of top and bottom components and the ratio of board usage using the board outline - if it is a contiguous shape. I will need to take a minute to convert it into public code - if you still want it.
Regards,
Dave
