Re: Batch convert entire Eagle lbr to KiCad?

 

For a single library:

* Add the eagle footprint library to your footprint library table.
* Open it with the footprint viewer to see if they footprints are as
  expected (optional step).
* Open the footprint editor and select the eagle library.
* File->Save Library As to save it to KiCad pretty format.

If you want to convert a multiple eagle libraries, you can perform the
same steps using the eagle plugin via python scripting.
