Is it possible to create a custom library from all the parts you use in a design?

Question

I have been using different parts from different libraries and now want to bring all of them into a single library.

1) Is it possible to do this automatically so I do not have to copy every single part?

2) Is it possible to automatically point all the components in the schematic actually draw from the new custom library?

thanks very much!

OK, I think I figured it out. You need to run update with the following parameters to actually populate the new library parts into the schematics. UPDATE old_library_name = new_library_name;

Take a look at the exp-project-lbr.ulp program. It will export everything from your current project. Sorry, I'm not sure I understand your second question. Maybe you need the "USE" command. First stop using all libraries with "use -*;", then select your library with a new "use" command...

there was a tread a short time back about this topisc.

In short, you use the exp-project-lbr.ulp (perhaps in the version that

allows to restrict the export to the used packages, see the cadsoft

download area for that) to create one library pre original library.

you will need to rename the created libraries.

then use the update command.
