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.
