Hi,
You can use OrCAD15.7 Demo. It is fully functional and free with some limits on the number of the chips, connections, footprints, etc. But you will have the full libraries! Inside the Layout you will find the Library Editor that has an Pad Array Generator. If you do not find the footprint you need, it is easy to make it yourself.

You can download OrCAD15.7 Demo directly from the OrCAD site (www.orcad.com). It is too big to be sent via email.

The cadence's allegro and the Mentor's Expedition Enterprise provides this high level of integration, enabling all team members to work collaboratively and more efficiently.
they are the best!
