How to copy package within the same library?

embeddedbob
embeddedbob over 9 years ago

I find hundreds of pages that tell how to copy a device from one library to another, but I've created a package in my library that I'd like to copy to another name within the same library and then modify it. How do I use the copy command to do this?  Everything I've tried has failed.

 

Thanks

Bob

    HI Bob

    Display the package you wish to replicate. Note the grid

    Type into the command line

    GROUP ALL

    Select COPY and copy the group

    Then commence the creation of a new package and give it the new name.

    Set the grid the same as before

    Paste the copied package into the new package

     

    It would pay to confirm that the pads are located as per the original

    Save

    HI Bob

    Display the package you wish to replicate. Note the grid

    Type into the command line

     

    at this point i'd add

     

      display all

     

     

    GROUP ALL

    Select COPY and copy the group

    Then commence the creation of a new package and give it the new name.

    Set the grid the same as before

    Paste the copied package into the new package

     

    It would pay to confirm that the pads are located as per the original

    Save

     

    and back to the previous layer selection

     

      display last

     

     

     

     

    or do everything on the command line:

     

      edit sourcePackageName

      display all

      group all

      copy (>0 0)

      edit targetPackageName

      paste (0 0)

      display last

     

     

    or put the following in an ULP

     

      exit("edit " + argv[1] + "; display all; group all; copy (>0 0);"

           "edit " + argv[2] + "; paste (0 0); display last;");

     

    and run it with

     

      run uplName sourcePackageName targetPackageName
