OrCAD to KiCad Complete Redesign
Budget: $25 – $50 USD
I’m handing over an entire OrCAD project—schematic pages, PCB layout, and custom part libraries—and I need it reborn in the current release of KiCad. This isn’t a straight-through port; I’m open to major improvements as you migrate the design. Feel free to replace end-of-life components with readily available equivalents, reroute the board for better signal integrity or manufacturability, and clean up reference designators or annotation quirks along the way.
Throughout the conversion, please keep the net-list intent intact so functional behaviour stays identical while the physical implementation improves. Use native KiCad symbols, footprints, and hierarchical sheets rather than generic imports so future edits are painless.
Deliverables:
• KiCad schematic (.kicad_sch) and hierarchical project files
• KiCad PCB layout (.kicad_pcb) with updated design rules applied
• New/updated symbol and footprint libraries linked to the project
• BOM reflecting any component substitutions, clearly marked
• Gerbers, drill files, pick-and-place, and IPC-356 netlist ready for fabrication
• Brief change log highlighting component, layout, and annotation updates
I’ll provide the original OrCAD files as soon as we start.
