[Feature Request] Add exporting to KiCAD schematic and footprint

[easyw]

Hi, I noticed this two projects:

• Qucs-RFlayout
• qucs2kicad

Is there any chance to integrate those projects into an integrated Qucs to KiCad exporter?

Hi, thank you!

About Qucs-RFlayout, a discussion started in the mailing list. I would like this project to be little more mature before starting to integrate it.

Schematic file formats are plugins in future Qucs. There is plenty of space for new plugins, and support for several formats is intended.

"Export" is pretty simple, and a good starting point. Take and modify an existing one (e.g. Verilog), or implement it from scratch.

Edit: There is work in progress on the file format [1]. Future "export" could be implemented as part of Qucs, but the new approach adds more interesting options.

Option 1: Extend kicad to support the format
Option 2: Dump the desired format from Gnucap (a language plugin)
Option 3: Implement a little converter (script?) independently.

As mentioned in [1], we have funding for this kind of work..
