Hi, just pull the lest-est developer build from git-hub for KiCad
and tried compiling it. But but get this Error, missing file "grammar.c"

If memory server's me correctly, I scan all eagle the sub sheet, for net
name match, if the label match's, for different sub sheets I make global,
else local, this works fine in my conversation script, at

you can check the code there.

Hi, was trying to compile the latest Dev build of KiCad with version of
ngspice 27
and getting the following undefined reference,
/usr/local/lib/libngspice.so: undefined reference to `riffts1'
/usr/local/lib/libngspice.so: undefined reference to `iffts1'
/usr/local/lib/libngspice.so: undefined
A few quick test show the Eagle import has some problems, on the Developers
version.
I would suggest you do a binary file check, on sch/pcb files, and warn
the user, that Kicad only supports XML, 6.0+ instead of giving confusing
passer error messages when it finds a binary file. Example:
This patch fix's the bug in, Pcbnew, when importing Eagle PCB text.
When the imported text is not at 90,180 or 270 dregs

And one more note the Copy Version info in the help->about KiCad, has no

I would agree, jumping onto the rumor mills, just about always ends badly,

Hi, the text rotation has many problem, for the B.SilkS layer
has any one else seen this ? or working on the bugs ?
This also shows up on Eagle PCB import.
As a side note, the rotation dialog is overly complex.
IE there is no need to have a button for other to access the deg rotation.

You can't set text rotation angle of part reference's and vale's in
pcbnew, only part rotation angle,
This is bit of a problem for importing eagle pcb's, as parts

you need to enter 900 for 90.. etc
instead of 90.5 etc

The Bug:layers 95 and 96 don't exist in Eagle PCB there only in sch.
The source incorrectly show's layers from 91 to 98 as
being pcb layers there not. Only sch layers.
In Eagle you can not crate layers 95 and 96 you just get a
error. Only layers 100 and
. this is my least preferred option. But
make good cents too.
Your choice.

Hi, I'm very closed to posting my Eagle to KiCad conversion scripts on a

I can't see any way of scripting a version check in Kicad, Pcbnew, or

script to check
what version of Kicad it has ?, if not, would there be any
I'm thinking of adding a layers translation Dialog to Ealge PCB import, so
the user has control
over how layers to imported to KiCad and also save that as a per project
option in the project file,
Also import the design rule's as well.I was wondering if there is any
objection to doing this,
When your switching layers, while editing or adding tracks etc, it would
be be nice if you could automatically control which layers are displayed.
IE: When your on skill screen layer you only interested in skill screen,
via's, pad's, top copper, and foot print.

Hi, I have a strange problem, I'm opening a Ealge 6.xx pcb, saving it,
then reading the net list from the matching convert eagle sch.
This works fine, most of the time, but on net list import it prefix's the
net's with / and some others is dose not.
for example: the GND net will be split
You can assign net name''s to via's, when you add a track from pad to via
then to track, (picking up the pad net name)
if the first pad to via track is deleted, just leaving the via and track,
flood fill works as expected, connecting to that via/track, but when you
save and reload the board,
There is a bug on import of eagle PCB'S which KiCad drop's the net name
from unconnected via's
This is important, as flood fill's will not connect those the via's, any
more.

Just a minor annoyance, Changing the default white to black background

This should be correct from the start.
so maybe have 2 default color scheme's

Something to think about, for the next version, the big picture view
You have a data set, let say in one file, which contains every thing
related to that PCB, IE: SCH, PCB, simulation data, part supplier's data,
Doc's
you have viewers/clients/users of that data like SCH viewer, PCB
When pcbnew imports a eagle PCB, with a old number of copper layers, it

But when you open the now saved kicad-pcb file it says you have invalided

I'm not quite sure, if this a valid assumption, as there is no reason
I wont to call PCBNEW from a command line, IE in linux or windows,
load/import a Eagle 6.xx PCB, file and save it to a KiCad PCB file name of
