Eagle to Allegro Conversion

abhishek120

I am having ns_eagle2allegro configured and trying to convert a .brd file to Orcad readable .brd file.

I am receiving an error as ' Translation stopped! Data must be in XML Format! ' in the log.

Please support .

Thanks

Abhishek

    This sounds like you have an old binary, not XML, formatted Eagle file, the translator needs the later XML format.

    Do you mean, that the .brd files are formatted in XML format and I need an updated .brd file ?

    I am fetching the .brd files form this link github.com/.../MOD-WIFI-ESP8266-DEV all the .brd files show the same error
    Thanks

    Eagle v6.5, and later, uses XML format, this (binary) format file needs to be opened and saved with Eagle v6.5, or later, to get the data into XML format for conversion.
