EDA42
Project documents and previews through the shared editor engine.
In development · Shared engine profileBeta PCB file converter
Upload your project, preview supported schematics and boards, and download documents for the EDA42 editor. Import and export use the same engine as the editor.
How it works
From source files to your next handoff.
A board, authored schematic or complete project ZIP. Keep child sheets, libraries and project settings together. Historical formats remain supported as inputs as their adapters are migrated.
Pick EDA42 documents or a current export. The board and authored schematic are previewed when present. Available results depend on your source and the migrated engine profile.
Check previews and conversion notes, then import EDA42 documents into the editor to keep working. Exports with incomplete or unverified coverage remain clearly marked.
Manufacturing artwork does not contain every fact from the original CAD design. A converted file may preserve only a supported subset. Check the scope of your format.
Current destinations
KiCad and Altium remain priorities. Cadence Allegro, Siemens Xpedition and Autodesk Fusion Electronics are required destinations. Historical formats stay on the input side; legacy export targets have been retired.

In development · Shared engine profileKiCad 10 board and schematic files: EDA42 documents use the KiCad file format.
Available · Shared engine documentsPCB and schematic import; bounded PcbDoc and single-sheet SchDoc export through the shared engine.
In development · Supported export subsetAllegro 16.x/17.x binary boards and Fabmaster files import. Native .brd export is not available yet.
In development · Import availableRequired PCB and schematic destination. Native database export is not available yet.
In development · Required destinationEagle XML board export for import into Fusion Electronics. An Eagle XML file is not a verified Fusion project.

Practical guides
Identify ambiguous .brd, .pcb and .dsn files before conversion. Learn which PCB files contain layout, manufacturing layers or electrical connections.
Understand Gerber-to-PCB conversion: what copper and drill files preserve, what is missing, and how to check a recovered KiCad board.
Prepare PCB assembly data: understand BOM and pick-and-place CSV files, check origins and rotations, and keep fabrication files on the same revision.
