![]() So what I intend is to have one PCB and several schematic sheets. However this can be useful as I can put functional blocks into different sheets making the schematic more readable. The result of copper area will be different, please check carefully. For some reasons the schematic I was able to put on the single sheet in KiCAD spreaded into 4-5 sheets in Altium. After PCB is imported, it will automatically rebuild and copper area.It requires starting the schematic editor (eeschema) or the pcb editor (pcbnew) in standalone mode (on Windows directly from the Windows Start menu item) and using File Import. ![]() ![]() But some Altium schematics and layouts can be converted to KiCad version 6 files. KiCAD has updated the document format since KiCad v5.1.3, if the import fails, please try a previous version. Strictly speaking Altium cannot be converted to KiCad.The PCB design rule is not supported yet.For the KiCAD special symbols such as Power symbol (Power Flag(PWR_FLAG)), EasyEDA will convert them as the symbol not Netflag, you can delete them if you don’t need them.If you want to import the schematic, you must ZIP the schematic and symbols together, we suggest using the KiCAD archive tool when opening the project in KiCAD, it will include the symbols in the ZIP file automatically.If you only want to import the PCB, you just need to ZIP the PCB file and then import it.The KiCAD project files need to be compressed as zip file before importing. EasyEDA supports importing KiCAD v4.06 and greater version KiCAD files, if the KiCAD files version is less than v4.06, please open them with the latest KiCAD and save as a new one, and then import them.
