Buy an E-size plotter. Nobody handles this very well. The traditional method started running into trouble when ic's hit 100 pins.
We need a method of creating multiple ic segments that when all placed and connected would show all the ic pins. We have done something like that here using Mentor DA and spliting the power out from the logic but I'm not sure how that would work in gschem.

I have made components up to 208 pins, they use up half the schematics by themselves and there is a lot of wasted space. Next I'll be working on a 388 pins BGA component, I would like to get other people's opinion on the best way to handle it before I get started. Thanks, Chris.
