Importing Specctra SES files into Eagle Cad

Short Story:

I'm trying import specctra SES formated files into eaglecad, I'm told there is a ulp for that. But I'm having no luck finding it.

Long Story:

I'm trying to use TopoRs router with eaglecad. So I can export eaglecad .brd files to TopoR by first converting it to dsn files using a ulp i found here. http://www.freerouting.net/download/brd_to_dsn.ulp

After TopoR is done routing it can only export files in SES , DXF formats. Do u guys know of any ulps or ways to import these files into eagecad.

Earlier this year, I hacked a very limited SES-to-SCR converter for exactly the same purpose: getting Topor routings back to Eagle. Since I asked in various forums and no one seemed to be interested in it, I didn't bother to put more work into it since it's already doing all I need.

Try it if you like:

Hi Matthias,

looks to be a very useful tool. If you don't mind you could upload it at the CadSoft web server at http://www.cadsoft.de/upload.htm . I am sure it will be highly appreciated by the EAGLE User community.

Thank you.
Richard

Can do, though you need to be aware that it really has strong limitations: 2 layers. Wires only (straight lines and arcs). No part placement. No via parameters. Reads only so-and-so-many lines in the SES file. And so on, and so forth. All of these should be pretty easy to fix if someone is really interested in it.

Here's a PWM board for LEDs that I routed in Topor (manually; push-and-shove is gold!!), after re-import in Eagle:
