Hi Group,

Is there a ULP or something else I can use to convert Kicad files to Eagle.

Thanks in advance,

Harry

I have been watching this post in hopes someone would have knowledge how to
import Kicad files to Eagle myself - "IF" there is a way.

There are ULPs from EAGLE to KiCad, but as far as I know, not from
KiCad to EAGLE.

See www.cadsoft.de/download.htm, ULP directory:
eagle2kicad_sch.ulp and eagle2kicad-0.9b.ulp

Oh well, so much for that idea - thank you for the info.

One could essentially reverse the Eagle export to KiCad ULP to make one
for import. Perhaps there has not been sufficient demand for someone to
accomplish this. It seems so many things are available as Eagle
libraries and Eagle designs that KiCad users want, with not so much of
the reverse situation. Though I've recently learned that CERN is
currently working to improve KiCad tool set, and perhaps at some point
this comparison may change. I wouldn't hate the idea of going into their
new KiCad manual router and back to Eagle again... But fir now, there's
not yet very much out there to download and import into Eagle.

hey man,
i cloned the git, but i cant seem to get it to convert... also, it gives
me a warning, Unsupported version of python , 2.7 > 2.6 ...
could you tell me how to get it to convert?
python2 -m upconvert.upconverter -i ~/Downloads/noname.sch -f kicad -o
somename -t eagle   -->  is the command i used
(also installed freetype module for python, said it was required...)

The posting/link is 3 years old.

Upverter appears to have its own site now

The project sounds better than it is. Trying to importing kicad files they are not recognized as being valid
So that program is as of no use to import kicad and convert it to eagle
