Adding Template to Altium Footprint Builder, to
have one script .prjscr file for each package have all parameters when using 'Batch Build'.
When selecting Batch Build create multiple Libraries when 'Create New' option is selected instead of building one by one like other tool like Altium as attached,
can build more footprints, it will save time uploads/11979/BGA_Ball_Grid_Array.xls

We're looking into this request via Altium scripting.
We're not sure there is an Altium script command that can do this. |

This request is a bit over the top. It's impractical from a programming point.
You want to automate the creation of multiple libraries (one library per footprint) when using 'Batch Build > Create New'. If this is what you need for your PCB library process, we recommend that you build one part at a time and create a new library for every footprint. |

No, not when using batch build.
When using build single footprint, instead fill dimension in interface like below screen, upload Excel .xls file contains all these values, and in same time user can have option upload more footprints with different dimension but same package, and tool create them. |

If I understand your request correctly, you want a feature to allow 'Batch Build' to automatically create a separate Altium library for every footprint in the Batch Build. You'll have to use "Single" part creation to autogenerate a new library for each part. Footprint Expert already has this feature. |
