Click to download the extension then restart Altium Designer when prompted.

To do so, access the Extensions & Updates view then open the Purchased tab where the KiCad Importer extension will be listed (the extensions are listed alphabetically). If the KiCad Importer extension is not listed or is at anytime uninstalled, the extension will need to be installed. To use the importer, first ensure the KiCad Importer extension is included in the Software Extensions region on the Installed tab of the Extensions & Updates view (click the control at the top-right of the workspace then choose Extensions and Updates from the menu). The KiCad importer is included in Altium Designer as a software extension, which when enabled, will add a KiCad Design Files import option to the Import Wizard. The Wizard walks you through the import process and handles both the schematic and PCB parts of the project, as well as managing the relationship between them. The Wizard is a quick and simple way to convert KiCad design files to Altium Designer files. but since Altium is so vocal about getting people to change tools, it should have an importer at least.Altium Designer includes the capability to import KiCad ® files through the Import Wizard. Right now I'm trying to export from KiCad to Eagle and then import the Eagle files to Altium, see if that works. Sometimes you lose a pad, sometimes it's a bit of ground plane. I've spend the entire morning generating gerbers and then importing the gerbers in Altium and converting them to PCB, but the results aren't perfect. Regarding the PCB panelizer, I need to have control over the fiducials and the frame, since it's going to be assembled off site, so I really need the PCBs on Altium.

It is not possible to import KiCad into Altium designer (or Circuit Maker).' Which is kinda sad, seeing that Altium is trying to get KiCad users to switch tools: and. I had an internal conversation about the document.

I opened a ticket on the Altium support line and the response I got was: 'Thanks for your support request.
