Netlist for PADS-pcb

when i study the help document of Eeschema. i notice the below information. it seem there is
plug-in file(netlist_form_pads-pcb.xsl ), so we can get a netlist for PADS layout software, but i
can’t find this file in kicad install folder. does anybody know where this file is?

i found a old post, it seem someone write a py file to solve this problem, but it is under the kicad4, i
will check whether it will work well in kicad5

Output to PADS PCB Netlist Broken?

Well I don’t know what’s up with KiCAD but I wrote a Python script with a simple GUI that seems to solve my problem. Going to do more testing when I’m back in the office on Monday. This is the first real coding I’ve ever done so I’m sure it’s not perfect but it seems to work. Anyone experiencing the same problems I am is welcome to use it. def main(): import ctypes import tkinter from tkinter import filedialog import sys #name the winddow and hide it root = tkinter.Tk()…

i try this python script. it fail, i gave up
but i found another EDA software can import kicad PCB and sch.
then you can use the EDA software to export Altium design file. the result is very good.
O(∩_∩)O， very funny
you can try https://lceda.cn/, it is also free
