signex-kicad-import

One-way converter from KiCad files (.kicad_sch, .kicad_pcb, .kicad_sym) to Signex's native formats (.snxsch, .snxpcb, .snxsym).

Licensed GPL-3.0-or-later because it implements KiCad's file format with structure derived from KiCad's GPL-3.0 source. This companion tool is distributed independently from Signex Community Edition which is Apache-2.0.

Usage

signex-kicad-import path/to/project.kicad_pro

Produces project.snxprj + .snxsch / .snxpcb siblings. Open the resulting .snxprj in Signex Community.

Install

Pre-built binaries on the Releases page for Linux / Windows / macOS.

From source:

cargo install --path crates/cli

Why two repos?

Signex Community is Apache-2.0. KiCad's source is GPL-3.0, and file-format implementations derived from it are subject to KiCad's reciprocal terms. To preserve a clean Apache codebase for Signex, KiCad I/O is shipped here as an optional GPL-3.0 companion. Apache consumers of Signex Community see no GPL aggregation; users who want to migrate KiCad projects download both tools.
