If you add a tab between SLOT1A, SLOT2A, SLOT3A adn the (t) in the pins.asc you get the full isa slots as attached
Again, buggy - and the inputs aren't perfect either.

Updated.
Fixed quite a lot and made it faster.
Also, it default flips the board upsidedown (right way up in all the ones I've seen)

I'll add more details if anyone's curious enough

For all 2 of you who care:

Figured a few more things out.
Some user interaction around filenames
Front/back component locations.
Device locations don't start relative to 0,0 so changing footprints actually works in a not retarded way now.
Throughhole vs smd

I may have got a bit carried away.

My next attempt will be symbols.
Then... If I still have the motivation, a crude schematic.

Symbols were faster than I expected.

Seems to work on the following boards (attached):
A7V600-100A
A7V8X201
Asus P2B BX112
LV101
M2N-MXR105G
P5GV-MX R104
TUV4X101

Looks great!
Browsing symbols at first I was confused by WINBOND associated with AS97127F but looking at the BOM there it is 😮

1WINBOND AS97127F PQFP100
2ASIC (REV."D")
3HOLTEK  AS97127F PQFP100
4ASIC (VER."B")

Winbond and Holtek were manufacturing Asus Asics 😮

Looks like boardview has capacity for storing via/hole size, but nobody bothered? Only some tht parts (caps/inductors but not pin headers) have bigger hole coded in, and no pad shapes. Converted footprints will be very handy for picking correct ones, much faster than starting from scratch.

I stopped my manual conversion mid way realizing there must be a better way than toiling one pdf page at a time. Made a script guessing SVG zoom/dimensions from mean average line start/stop distances so I no longer have to sit there guessing up to third number after a dot 😀 and made progress with automating text import to Kicad schematic. In theory this should work on more pdf diagrams, at least all other intel reference ones (430TX VX FX).

Glad someone appreciates it.

If what someone said is correct, these are files sent to a bed of nails style testing machine. Which explains why it's all upside down, and the hole size isn't relevant.
Unless I'm misunderstanding you,and you're referring to the hole sizes I chose?

Going to try a p1 board too, eh?

Did you work up the bravery to run the script? Even if only in a vm?
W10+ has sandbox mode

That would be me 😀 and yes, .dat file even says TR-518F ICT+FUNCTIONAL ATE, model number for http://www.miko.hk/TRI/tr518f.htm. Asus was still using those machines up to at least 2009 (ASUS P6T).

I just want to make it easier to transfer pdf-eeschema with text first.

No, but I read the code, does that count? 😀

Lol did you see the back door I left? ;p

Oh, wait, you can't. It ran on your brain when you read it! Mwuahahahaha!

Bug.

Script updated. Every time I think I've got kicads rotation figured out, it says yeah...nah.

P2b with most footprints.
"asus library" adapted from existing. Mostly rotations.

Looking at random 0603 resistor Asus-Extracts:R0603 doesnt differ from R_0603_1608Metric_Pad0.98x0.95mm? Same for Asus-Extracts:JP-3 and Connector_PinSocket_2.54mm:PinSocket_1x03_P2.54mm_Vertical. I dont see roundrect_rratio in your script, did you match all of those by hand? Wouldnt it make more sense to use standard kicad footprints if there is a match?

It is the standard one.
But Asus use a different rotation as standard.
Asus likes 1 down for simple components kicad likes 1 left. There's also the center. All of the automatic ones are at the centroid. Kicad varies between centroid and pin 1.

I could "fix" the board, but there's no guarantee their standard is consistent, so it's easier to rotate, center, and save. Yes, manually. In theory though, once the library is big enough, it's just a find and replace in the pcb file. Find footprintname, replace with asuslibrary:footprintname.

Go ahead and change one to the standard kicad one. Be prepared to ctrl-z.

Rasz, any thoughts on pad sizing?
I'm almost done with the library, but while I can figure out the hole sizes, I have nfi what to do about pad sizes on throughhole.

Updated script and library.

Add library,
Run main script,
Then run:

1$file=".\BX112.kicad_pcb"
2(get-content  $file) | % { $_ -replace 'footprint "', 'footprint "Asus-Extracts:' } | set-content $file

Open in kicad
Tools > Update footprints from library > update

Voila!

Oh, and the symbols are now one library and it only does parts that aren't obviously boring like caps/resistors.

It's got some half broken code that only runs when og files are missing, and a bunch of redundant code but it mostly works and creates a schematic file.

Suggest creating a project with the board name, copying the sch and pcb over before opening

Made less dodgy.
Now outputs schematic sorted by grid reference so they should be close to things they're close to.
Still has a bunch of redundant code to sort out, but it's fast enough.

It seemed to work on most of the ~1gb of board dumps I found.
With 7z ultra, kicad files: ~200mb.
