I am suspecting that Altium rounds coordinates to the nearest mill or something like that. Use MS Office or Google Docs for documentation. I noticed that some of the fine pitch parts had their pads in an irregular spacing. Design and execution of manual or automated testing, document measurements and maintain good test data record keeping. It was one of the Nucleo boards from the ST Microelectronics website. Explore Migration IMPORT WIZARD FOR PCB SCHEMATICS The Import Wizard unifies the importing process, allowing PCB designers to bring in a PCB layout from a variety of different PCB design tools.

I once looked at a project made in altium, and imported in KiCad. Migrate from KiCAD EDA to Altium Designer Experience the Altium Designer difference. The Gerber files will create a PCB with much PCB information missing, however, using this method is easier than re-designing a PCB from scratch, and can also be extended to any other program that creates Gerber files.Īlso, do you have much experience with altium? ago Parts library management (and component selection) in KiCad is very simplistic and not for commercial prime time.

KiCad has nearly the featureset as Altium. The goal of this reverse-engineering tutorial is to re-create a complete KiCad project from partial information assuming the only information available is a schematic in some readable, (but not EDA form, such as a. KiCad is FOSS, you will always be able to use it, forever (Altium might just go bankrupt) KiCad is free KiCad has less bugs. Reverse engineering KiCad project from Gerber files FAQ
