Hello all,

I have projects very old (previous version 4), then trying to open it
now give to me different errors.

I don't wanna make work twice, so what is your recommendation about it?

re-start (fix incompatibility) with version 4 or 5?

Thanks (I am learning English any mistake take it easy).

Hola Luis,

I hope the old version is 2013-07-07-BZR4022.

Make the transition from kicad-2013 to Kicad 4.0.7

Then from Kicad 4.0.7 to Kicad 5.0.0

I have already tried to open some 2013-07-07 projects with version 5 an
failed.

Transition from 2013-07-07 to kicad 4.0.7 only affects the layout
(pcbnew and its libraries).

Transition from 4.0.7 to 5.0.0 only affects schematics.

I send you by private email a 2013-07-07 to 4.0.7 pdf with instructions
to perform the migration.

From 4.0.7 to 5.0.0 it is nearly automatic.

Cheers!

Pedro.

I have projects older than 2013 (I'm a big Kicad fan).
I am going to follow your recommendations.

Thank you!

Then you should migrate from old versions to 2013 and so on.

There was another step before 2013, from project.brd to project.kicad_pcb

Cheers,
Pedro.
