Maybe I’m being a bit thick (probably) but I can’t find how to import anything from Eagle. I’m using 1.0.0-rc1 and 0.1.7

I assume Eagle libraries are supported - what about schematics & boards?

Thanks

Hi!

The Eagle library import is in the library editor (create a local library first):

Importing schematics and boards is not possible so far.

Excellent! Thanks for that… I have another question that’s unrelated (but still import/export), so I’ll do that in another thread,

When I try to import my Eagle library, LibrePCB 1.0 exits silently! You are welcome to a copy of the Eagle library to see if you can duplicate the issue.

Then I see this, after which it exits silently…

There’s other stuff in the Event Log related to this but I can’t see how to embed XML in my reply without making an awful mess!

Huh, that’s not good 😭

I upgraded your user account, are you now able to attach the Eagle library as a ZIP file (only ZIP is allowed) by drag&drop into the text input field?

I would prefer not to make the library publicly available at the moment as there is some commercial stuff in there. Can I send it to you directly/privately?

I got it and tried to import it, but everything works fine. I also tried on Windows, no issue found. Both with LibrePCB 0.1.7 and 1.0.0-rc1.

Did you try it a second time and it happened again? At which step did it crash?

Rats! It was a silent crash so I don’t really know… I’ll do some tests tomorrow - it’s getting late here…
