Sharing a common format will indeed be possible but we would need people to study what can be shared. At the moment for example KiCad supports 32 copper layers and 32 technical layers; mapping copper layers is easy provided both software packages can support the same number of layers but the mapping of the technical layers requires more coordination. For drawing outlines KiCad only has circular arc and line segments; there is currently no support for ellipses and such though I imagine in the future some people may demand a few curve types which are also supported by MCAD software, particularly Polynomial Curves and NURBS. KiCad has no pad stack though some people say they will try to find time to implement it. These are just a small portion of issues which need to be addressed when communicating data between different software. - Cirilo >________________________________ > From: "timofonic timofonic timofonic AT gmail DOT com [kicad-users]" <kicad-users AT yahoogroups DOT com> >To: geda-user AT delorie DOT com >Cc: foss-pcb AT ohwr DOT org; The Open Source Hardware Association Discussion List <discuss AT lists DOT oshwa DOT org>; kicad-users AT yahoogroups DOT com >Sent: Sunday, June 14, 2015 11:40 PM >Subject: [kicad-users] Re: [geda-user] Any news about FOSS EDA coordination?

Correct me if I am wrong but I don't think that they had anyone on the committe who's day job actually involved designing IC's.
