    Currently I don't know a tool that allows to import components from, for example, Digikey directly. This would be a task for a EAGLE User Language Program. Provided you have a good data format description of the source files, you could write an ULP that converts this into an EAGLE Library file. For example, look at make-symbol-device-package-bsdl.ulp. It allows to extract all data needed from so-called Boundary Scan Description Language files that are available for lots of complex components.


    You could also have a look at ADI's Ultra Librarian. As far as I am informed you can generate library data for EAGLE, as well.


    There are alos other ULP's that can help in generating library files:

    make-connector.ulp, make_bga.ulp, make_symbol_ulp which are available at www.cadsoft.de/download.htm, ULP directory.
