I'm using KiCad since a few years. There're conversion tools from the eagle libraries to obtain both schematic libs and footprints to be used on KiCad. There're also quite a few native libraries. Overall I would never look for anything else. But I'm not a professional user, so my time is kind of free. 73 Frank IZ8DWF _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
