1: Jep: let the blob be in: but never without a commit without the ASCII as documentation for change. At the present time: no immediate need for work by @sjwiseman : the documentation of how to export from Altium and import into a subset of interesting sw products is up to the community. My current need for what I believe is "footprints", is the bottom connection layout on the micro:bit, otherwise I will have to do by hand :( |
Export possibilities that are a available at the moment for upverter.com

Ah yes, I remember - rotated components all over the place! |
I think we wait a bit: I would prefer to break the diag. into smaller sections. Edit: if a diagram has a problem, then it can be easier to finde a fix with smaller sections |
You're welcome to break the design apart, and stitch it all back together with hierarchy - but on a design this small and interconnected, I personally like to have it all visible. |
I concentrate on learning more import/export and the copper pattern of the edge connector. |
And seeing what footprints to swipe: but really missing the connector and edge copper

It's a Modulebit, not a Microtbit(tm). Designed to plug into breadboards,
designed to be a start point for your own project. If you want a Microbit,
I'd strongly suggest you buy one!
You'll also note it's bigger, to give you some area on the PCB to build
stuff, without interfering with the basic functionality - just blow away
the audio section, and you have a decent amount of space.
No-fit the audio and the battery, and you've (just!) got enough space for a
little breadboard to stick on, then jumper wire to the 0.1" connections.
Or do something else, that's kinda the point :) I wasn't just cloning the
Microbit.

Or a baggybit |
Found a nice verified Nordic nRF51822-QFAA with pcb I search for other ref design components |
@sjwiseman @jaustin |
@sjwiseman I found out today that the ic on the ref diagram is not an ic for nRF51822 but a module, as you may have hinted at earlier in the thread (I didn't get the hint :) ). I have done some successfull imports of Eagle today: but Altium sch and pcb from this repro still does not work |
From my analysis.
The above are just a few of my thoughts, dependant on feedback to 1 2 3 this issue may come into other areas.
