Well, the interface is indeed different but I certainly don't mind exploring the dark side! I believe the files were created with Altium 10, some much earlier, but I'll confirm. I am hoping to be able to import some Altium schematics and possibly layouts if it proves well. I've been generally aware of Eagle for a number of years but first time diving in. Long time user of Altium (at work) but was looking for a reasonably cost option for my home. I should also note that I am a complete n00b to Eagle. Not sure if that is important.Ĭ:/Users/someguy/Documents/test/Test.scr, Line 56:Ĭ:/Users/someguy/Documents/test/Test.scr, Line 61:Ĭ:/Users/someguy/Documents/test/Test.scr, Line 63:Ĭ:/Users/someguy/Documents/test/Test.scr, Line 64:

The first occurred when it appeared to be 75% complete. The following errors occurred on only one part. Lost count of how many errors occurred but they were all similar to this below This is indicative of multiple tests I've run, including a larger schematic with multiple parts. Imported as you outline however the component generate multiple errors. I exported from Altium (Save Project as - PCAD V16 ASCII). So much so that I generated a simple test with 1 component schematic (cer cap - C0603). Hundreds of errors on larger single sheet schematics. I seem to be able to get wires from my imported schematic but almost every part generates multiple errors when importing. I've been attempting what I think is your suggestions with not much success.
