Export project from Kicad to Eagle

[lrosselli23]

Bye,
my problem is the following: I made a project of a simple electronic card with Kicad and using FreeRouting, I have the autoRouting, all right. Unfortunately autoRouting has developed the tracks on 2 layers with 8 vias. By doing a lot of tests I can’t develop the board on 1 layer only. At this point, since the tracks must be located on 1 layer without vias, I should manually solve the problem from PcbNew perhaps by inserting jumps.
The question is the following: how to export the project from Kicad to Eagle and try if Eagle routing manages to solve my problem, that is to have a printed circuit with the tracks on 1 layer.
Regards
LR

Can I export or convert a KiCad project to another EDA format (Altium, Mentor, Zuken, OrCAD etc.)?

No, KiCad doesn’t natively export to other formats for other EDA software packages, at least for the time being. There are at least two practical reasons for that. First, most commercial EDA file formats are closed, i.e. secret. It’s very difficult and time consuming to reverse engineer such a format. (This is a problem for all kinds of software, not just KiCad or EDA.) Second, the development resources must be focused into areas which are the most important for KiCad project. The resources …

First. You may not have a solvable problem.

Second. Eagle may do no better.

Third. This is why most prefer manual routing. You are more likely to come up with a better solution than the algorithms. Auto routing won’t move and turn parts. Sometimes moving a resistor allows a path and that resistor then becomes your ‘jumper’.
