I am trying to import a eagle design from Eagle Version 9.6 that is hierarchy based to Kicad 5.1.8, The Layout seems to import very cleanly, but the schematic only shows me a top level page with nets and none of the hierarchy blocks. Is there a trick to this?
To import a foreign project, you need to select either a schematic or a board file in the import file browser dialog. Imported schematic and board files should have the same base file name (e.g. project.sch and project.brd). Once the requested files are selected, you will be asked to select a directory to store the imported files, which are going to be saved as a KiCad project.
Some time ago I read a project on hackaday and the creator of that project had an interest in porting his eagle project to KiCad, but he was not sure how to do that, as KiCad was pretty new to him. I helped him out by copying his eagle project, importing it in KiCad, doing a bit of cleanup and sending it back to him.
I imported many multi page projects from eagle into kicad. I have however never tried one with design blocks (edit: seems i tried it as the bug linked by @eelik is made by me). Is that what you mean with hierarchy design?
Just to avoid misunderstandings: KiCad supports hierarchical design (in fact it really only supports hierarchical design, it is really quite tricky to get flat designs to work in KiCad). It is just that the eagle importer does not support importing eagle design blocks. Most likely because support for them was added after autodesk (they really redeemed themselfes with eagle 9 after the screwup with eagle 7).
And maybe a bit off topic. But as you seem to know eagle quite well: Is eagles desing block feature still basically a global database of designs or is it now possible to have blocks local to a project?
Also can you provide a few example projects and attach them to the bug report linked above? Best would be if you could also include a pdf printout of the full schematic such that the developers can check if the importer worked correctly. It would also be nice if you could answer the open question by wayne regarding if the blocks can include blocks and if they can include multiple pages. (If the answer is yes to either of these questions then an example project might again be useful)
I downloaded your zip file and tried to do an import in KiCad from it. and can confirm it does not work very well. I only got the first page of the schematic with the block diagram. (.pdf has 7 pages, but the index suggests it should have 8 ???)
To reduce the room for error, you can make good use of the converted PCB. The PCB seems to convert quite well to KiCad. KiCad only updates the netlist in the PCB if you tell it to with: Eeschema / Tools / Update PCB from Schematic [F8], and during this update you get a list of the changes that will be applied. You can also save these changes in a text file, then abort the update and use the error report to fix the schematic.

Note: The schematic parts and signals that I've selected for the Design Block are inside a module. You can see that on the board view as well: all parts are preceded by "OP1:", indicating that they're part of the module "OP1". Perhaps that can cause confusion for Eagle?
Some more clues. The design I am having issues with was created in Eagle 9.0.1. I loaded another design I did in Eagle 9.1.1, and creating design blocks worked fine. So it is likely related to the specific design done in 9.0.1.
Just to help new people with this issue. I solved it by enabling all the layer in the board. Maybe there are some layers that must be activated in order to do that, like for example you can not drag devices if layers toriginis/borigins are not shown.
Try doing it the other way around, it should work then. Select the components, traces and vias in the board view FIRST, then do file > save selection as design block, Ctrl + right-click in board view, then Ctrl + right-click in schematic without selecting anything else. It will properly create a design block with traces and vias intact.
Just depends on what you're trying to save. If it's the schematic you want, then start from the schematic instead (you won't be able to select traces or vias if you do this, but all components will be selected).
I had the same problem as well. But I try to select from the board and then schematic, it fixed parts of the problem.
I think it was caused by the GND and VDD signals(on schematic). Without select it, the route is able to select.
In my case my design block omitted GND and 3V3 symbols .. I tried selecting everything in brd then ctrl-rightmousing to the sch and adding their symbols but then I got the 'inconsistent'.. my solution was to delete EVERYTHING EXCEPT what I wanted in the design block including the board outline etc, then saving to a different file name. THEN selecting everything in brd and and doing a save selection as design block
