Create Library from Schematic/Layout.

Question

Is there a way to create a library of the parts from a given schematic/layout? Or some other solution to my problem described herein. I have a Schematic/Layout with parts in it that I want to modify, but I do not have the library files to which the parts came from. I am trying to avoid recreating the parts from scratch or replacing the parts from existing libraries in fear of having to redo layout traces. My hope is there is a script or .ulp that I can run that will recreate said parts into a new library or just let me modify the part. Any guidance would be appreciated, my search of the internet and forums here yielded no clues.

Hi Mark,

Use the exp-project-lbr.ulp that comes with EAGLE. In my experience it

works best when you let it create multiple libraries vs one library.

Just my two cents.
