    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

    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 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
