This page lists a number of OSHW projects that can be used for testing. The link should lead to the page where the board can be downloaded without too much navigation. Projects are sorted by the number of pads they contain in the board file.

Importer

Those are OSHW projects which can be used to test the import capabilities of KiCad. The numbers are as reported by KiCad after import (using some recent KiCad version). The column Non-Routed is measured after filling the zones with default parameters.

Altium Projects

KiCad support import of Altium Designer as well as Altium Circuit Maker and Altium Circuit Studio boards.

Cadence OrCad/Allegro Projects

We do not support import yet, but this should not stop us from searching for OSHW projects. A list of projects can also be found at https://github.com/Werni2A/CadenceOSHW

Even without Allegro, an ASCII .alg file can provide some hints for how a feature is supposed to look (it's a similar structure to Fabmaster files, and is how Altium imports these files). You need the converter format files from here.
