Duplicate a package or symbol

Former Member
Former Member over 14 years ago

Hello all,

 

Often I need to duplicate a package to create variants. I do it by hand,

open the package, display all layers, group, cut, create new package, paste,

then copy/paste the description. This process is slow and prone to errors.

Is there a way to duplicate an object (package or symbol) easily ? As far as

I have seen, the export function of the File menu exports the whole library

and only to a text file.

One way I imagined was to list all the elements of the source package and

rebuild the new package via a ULP. Any better idea ?

 

Thanks,

 

Best regards,

 

Jerome

    By opening the library in the control panel, it is possible to copy

    packages and maybe symbols to another library if that's what your

    looking for.

    First find the destination library in the cp and right click to select

    "open".

    Then locate the package in the other library in the cp and right click

    and select "copy to library".

    Finally I wrote a couple of ULP to do the job. Fast and efficient image
