Is there an auto "fanout" feature in Protel for BGA's or is it all manual via placement? I have several BGA and one is a 652pin BGA. thanks in advance for any responces, tricks, or easier ways.

I will usually start placing the first pad, tab to set the pad parameters, zoom in until I see the pad about the size I want and then J-L to jump to the required location for this pad (or just 0,0 to get close) and then click to place the pad. The extra time taken to zoom in is minor (no re-centring required) but, you are right, it is a bit clunky. Better would be the PCB library zoom starting with about 5 cm (2") extents.
