Subject:	[geda-user] [pcb-rnd] native Eagle XML import now supported in pcb-rnd
To:	geda-user <geda-user AT delorie DOT com>
Reply-To:	geda-user AT delorie DOT com

Taking advantage of the modular import/export code first used in
earnest for KiCad s-expression and KiCad legacy layout support, an IO
module has been developed to allow native import of Eagle XML (.brd)
layout files.

This is a significant milestone as it allows archived Eagle XML
designs from existing or former Eagle users to be used more easily in
pcb-rnd, and by extension, gEDA PCB, as well as facilitating community
distribution and use of open hardware designs originating in Eagle XML
format generally.

For an example screenshot, see:

There is still scope for fine tuning and validation of element
placement/rotation and text scaling, so testing is welcome; please
report any bugs or feature requests!!

Cheers,

Erich.
