Announcing edif2kicad, testers requested https://sourceforge.net/projects/edif2kicad/
For those with schematics they wish to export from OrCad and import into KiCad. Date: 2007-10-24 10:55 Summary: edif2kicad-20071023 This release is able to parse OrCad EDIF output, write library files and a schematic file for import into KiCad EEschema. I rate the quality at 80% correct, needs more testing, but it beats re-entering a schematic by hand but user beware! With a few symbol library edits for pin Up/Down EEschema should be able to give a pretty good display and produce a netlist. Pin Up/Down info was not included in my EDIF test files, possibly an bug in OcCads EDIF out (think I'm using Version 7, if I remember right) Notes: I put the *.lib, *.sch e2sch output in a separate test directory. The challenge was to get KiCad to forget about the installed library path and just look in my test directory. I gave up and used a text editor to generate some test.pro files. The *.sch output from e2sch already lists the libraries it found and generated. Warning: don't put multiple libs in the same directory. I noticed "interference* between multiple XTIE connection symbols coming from different OrCad designs. TODO: o maybe automatic reconize sheet size. (workaround: change in EEschema) o text scale is still a little funky o some PinNums are there, some are not o no testing of hierachical sheets o mimimal testing of EEschema netlist out
