Re: Scripting importing Eaggle 6.xx PCB file, and saving as KiCad pcb file.

 

It should be easily possible to read and save boards from the
scripting interface. The only problem when you want to read the eagle
pcb is that the read pcb will be interpreted as the legacy kicad
format, because they share the same extension.

The handling of the plugins are around:
