    Hello,

    is it able to use "old" EAGLE-Files?
    I use Eagle V5.11, but FreeCad-PCB can not read the .BRD-Files.

    Greetings

    Problem with files from v5.x is that they are binary files. I see three possibilities:

    • reverse engineering: I don't have time for study reverse engineering (also legal aspects)
    • open board from v5.x in newest Eagle and save file in new format - freeware licensed software can cry about parts outside board size limits
    • write *.ulp file for Eagle v5.x which export board to ascii format

    Third solution is most universal, I will try to prepare ulp file.

    Necessary script (ulp file) will be available from version 3.2.
