How to map layers when importing footprints from Eagle

Hi guys,

I would like to use a lot of footprints from existing Eagle libraries.

These libraries also include certain mechanical drawings on layers 101, 102, 103, 250, 255.
So these drawings need to be converted to some of the nine available user layers for footprints.

I added the libraries in the Footprint Libraries dialog but I get an information like "Ignoring a wire since Eagle layer ‘102’ (102) was not mapped.

KiCad doesn’t ask me how to map these layers and I have searched for any option to set up the mapping but can’t find it.

If I import a project from Eagle into PCBNEW a mapping dialog will pop up.

So I am seeking for a comparable dialog for the import a footprints or for a configuration file containing the association between Eagle and KiCad footprint layers.

So could please anybody tell me where to set up the mapping for footprint import from Eagle ?

Best regards

telyn
