Drawing a 40-pin microprocessor

How can I draw a 40-pin microprocessor? Do I have to draw each pin one by
one? Is there any template that I can use?

I am using Visio 2003 Pro.

If you mean the 40 pin DIP chip then I have one available from
http://www.electronics-packages.sandrila.co.uk/
together with a couple of hundred other chip packages.

Have you tried to google for such a Visio shape? Otherwise...

No, you don't have to draw each pin individually. Don't think there is a
template, but there are a couple of add-ons that should be helpful. The
first is array shapes, the second is number shapes.

Draw one of your pins, add a connector pin to it if desired. With the shape
selected, go to the menu bar Tools Array shapes. Depending upon whether
this is a BGA or has pins around the outside of the package, you can specify
rows/columns spacing, etc. Fill out the form and say OK. The add-on will
setup the pins. If you want the pins numbered, then, before you do the array
shapes, go to Tools Visio Extras Number shapes. Fill out the form as
desired. Now do the array shapes. You can add the package outline before or
after doing the array shapes.
