Error loading board. IO_ERROR: Maximum line length exceeded from richio.cpp : ReadLine() : line 235

[sabiha1233]

Hi, I have converted a altium design file to kicad using altium2kikcad by following the video .When I tried to open the converted board file I got "Error loading board. IO_ERROR: Maximum line length exceeded from richio.cpp : ReadLine() : line 235". I found a discussion related to this error. In this link, the suggested solution is to remove the unnecessary data to make long lines shorter in kicad_pcb file. My file(Please find the attached file) has 27223 and I have no idea which lines to make shorter. Please help me in this regard. board.zip

Thank You.

Please open the file convertpcb.pl , there is on line 39 the command $annotate=1; please change that to $annotate=0; then run it again. I will try to fix this problem permanently soon.

I have added linebreaks in the new version of convertpcb.pl, please try this new version, and tell me whether it solves your problem.

Hi, I tried both (Changing $annotate=1 to $annotate=0 and downloaded the new version) but both failed to open the converted file. I am attaching the output I got in terminal while the convertpcb.pl is running. And when i tried to open the file I got error "PcbDoc.kicad_pcb', line x: '=' expected." Please help me in this regard.

I have changed the default behaviour to not do the annoations anymore, could you please try again, and if it doesn't work, can you please send me the original .pcbdoc file?
