The entire process took only about 10 to 15 minutes of clean up after running the scripts. Board conversion is still done using KiCad’s built in converter, since it works quite well, and we were able to successfully convert two projects from Eagle. has written a comprehensive set of Eagle to KiCad ULP scripts to convert schematics, symbols and footprints. But without a netlist to read and check for errors, that’s not too useful either.

And for quite some time, KiCad has been able to open Eagle. An Eagle to KiCad ULP exists, but it only converts the schematic, albeit with errors and hence not too helpful. but since Altium is so vocal about getting people to change tools, it should have an importer at least.One barrier for those wanting to switch over from Eagle to KiCad has been the lack of a way to convert existing projects from one to the other. Right now I'm trying to export from KiCad to Eagle and then import the Eagle files to Altium, see if that works. Sometimes you lose a pad, sometimes it's a bit of ground plane. I've spend the entire morning generating gerbers and then importing the gerbers in Altium and converting them to PCB, but the results aren't perfect. Regarding the PCB panelizer, I need to have control over the fiducials and the frame, since it's going to be assembled off site, so I really need the PCBs on Altium. It is not possible to import KiCad into Altium designer (or Circuit Maker).' Which is kinda sad, seeing that Altium is trying to get KiCad users to switch tools: and. I had an internal conversation about the document. I opened a ticket on the Altium support line and the response I got was: 'Thanks for your support request.
