Re: status of Protel to KiCAD conversion tools

Hi Andrew,
The Protel ASCII format is not compatible with the P-Cad 200x ASCII format. Thus pcad2kicad can not be directly used for translation from Protel to KiCad. May be there is some indirect approach.
Protel ASCII format:? P-Cad 2006 ASCII format:?

Hi
Has anyone tried the Protel to KiCAD conversion tools recently? How well do they working importing a schematic and/or PCB layout?
There is a sourceforge page which I think is related
http://pcad2kicad.sourceforge.net/
I am asking because there is a legacy PCB project trapped in the Protel format and I am wondering what options are available to convert to a free/open solution or if it is lost to proprietary obscurity.
Thanks!
Andrew Lynch
