FPGA packages for PCB design

I have done something similar as well. Although, instead of starting from the pinout spreadsheet from Altera, I imported the fitter pin-out file into Excel. This way, all your application signal names can be used. I used an Excel macro to split up the part into separate gates based on prefixes in the signal names. Using Excel formulas, I formatted the data so that PADs could import the data as a CSV file.
