The project that I wanted to import was from Eagle, IIRC, and my target was KiCAD. It didn't work for me, but this was back in the version 3 or 4 days of KiCAD. The reason for doing it was the PCB maker was a KiCAD shop (in Oz, no less), and he didn't handle the Eagle format. It was a great place to get PCBs while it lasted.
