Convert ALTIUM file to Autodesk EAGLE: what is the most recent procedure

altiumeaglecadlayoutpcbpcb-design

I would like to convert following Altium file to EAGLE:
https://www.st.com/en/microcontrollers-microprocessors/stm32wlex.html#cad-resources

To do so I have opened the file in Altium and exported it to P-CAD ASCII according to some forum posts on the Autodesk forum:
https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/eagle-forum/importing-files-from-altium-designer-to-eagle/td-p/6827258

I could import it in Autodesk EAGLE but the design is broken at many pads:
EAGLE 1 conversion
ALTIUM 1 original
EAGLE 2 conversion
ALTIUM 2 original

I've also observed a couple of errors when importing the Altium-generated file like 'Couldn't place smd4 on padXX'.

My questions are:
What are the most recent or best ways to import Altium files in EAGLE?

Best Answer

Importing the Gerber files, as @Voltage Spike suggested works nicely in Autodesk EAGLE version 9.x.x: Can you load Gerber files back into a PCB layout designer such as Eagle?

You just need to be aware of the layer assignments, which are provided by Altium: https://www.nexpcb.com/blog/what-is-a-gerber-file-and-how-to-i-get-one
