Public Unreviewedby barrett-land
Import KiCad 10 symbols into Altium Designer correctly. Altium 26 supports KiCad through 9 only, so a raw KiCad 10 import silently loses property visibility and every hidden field lands visible. Downgrades v10 to v9 first, then imports headlessly, links the footprint, and repairs visibility.
