Michael,
Your best bet, in my opinion is manual fan out routing. You may also want to
consider using micro-via technology for such a dense BGA. Consult with your
Fab house before going down this road, and you may have to consider the cost
of such technology in your design as well.
Cheers,
GE Energy Services

Subject: [PEDA] Fanout for BGA's
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.

Jon,
You can speed this up slightly by zooming in to get the approximate scale
you want and then doing a J-L (jump location) and entering 0,0 - saves on
the re-centring.
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.
