Eda2Alt

Automated ECAD footprint and symbol extraction for Altium

CLI powered component extraction for Altium Desginer

Eda2Alt is a simple CLI tool that is used to extract JLCPCB/EasyEDA symbols and footprints and convert them into native Altium elements. The tool will extract schematic symbols, component footprints and 3D models.

The tool takes a LCSC/JLCPCB C-Part number and generates native Altium libraries directly in an allocated directory. The current version focuses on practical reliability: session-based CLI flow, clean output folders, improved footprint/symbol parity, and robust backend handling. It is designed for fast part ingestion during PCB development while keeping generated libraries ready to open in Altium immediately.

Highlights

  • Direct LCSC/EasyEDA to native Altium conversion
  • Generates schematic symbol, footprint, and STEP 3D body
  • Session-based CLI for repeated part imports into one target directory
  • Clean output structure for immediate library use

What Matters

  • Ready-to-open native Altium outputs in one run
  • Schematic symbol, footprint, and 3D model extraction
  • Clean output folders for immediate project use
  • Improved symbol/footprint parity to reduce manual fixes
  • Session-based CLI flow for faster part ingestion
