Import Altium libraries and projects into Eagle

sarahhyy
sarahhyy over 8 years ago

Hi everyone!

 

In this previous discussion, it was mentioned that library importing into Eagle was not supported. That was in 2014.

 

Anyone knows if this has changed? Altium can export libraries into an .lia format. Is there a way to import those into Eagle?

 

Also when I import the Altium exported PCAD .sch and .brd files into Eagle, I'm not sure if there's schematic-board connection / annotation. (Not sure what the technical term is called) Is there a way to ensure or create that annotation?

 

I'm currently using a trial Altium 17 and Eagle 6.5.

 

Cheers,

Sarah

    Hi Sarah,

     

    The *.lia format might be a Library Expert format. There is a freeware version of Library Expert but I don't know what you can do with that. You might be able to export from Altium in *.lia format and then use the freeware Library Expert to export to EAGLE but I don't know as I have never used either Altium or Library Expert. It's probably worth a try though.

     

    Best Regards,


    Rachael

    Thanks for the advice - ended up not trying Library Expert out. Had too little lead time to try figuring out a whole new software.

     

    I did realise though, I'm on Eagle 7.7 (XP)
