Usage

This program converts Orcad schematic libraries to KiCAD libraries. However, as Orcad libraries native format (*.olb) is not open, we first need to export Orcad libraries to XML. To do that, we use Orcad:

File->Export->Library XML

Then, once you get myLib.xml:

orlib2ki -i myLib.xml

Build for Windows (mingw-w64)

sudo apt-get install mingw-w64

mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../Toolchain-mingw32.cmake ..

Build for Linux

sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..

Known issues

  • Rotated text is not correctly placed

TODO

  • Understand Orcad native OLB format and convert directly from *.olb to KiCAD *.lib.
  • Update to the new KiCAD symbol format
