Hi Jean-Pierre,

I have an 8x8 BGA footprint with 0.25mm balls on 0.5 mm centers.
To be able to route to the inner pads, I make the outer row purely SMT.
Then the next inner row has a 4mil drill but a pad only on the top and

First, thanks for your involvement in Kicad.
Yes, support for the Microsoft compiler suite is not a priority for
the KiCad maintainers.
The reason is Kicad is not a tool like wxWidgets or qucs.
Therefore, generally speaking, suppo

Hi Craig,
Is this not something that bitmap2component can achieve for you? You
can create a footprint from a bitmap and place it down. Generally used
for logos, but you should be able to scale accurately from a bitmap
fairly easily

I'm a long-time kica
I do not know if this is a good idea, but why not ?
i would use this feature!
+1 for me.
