Another, more indirect method to merge multiple libraries: (I'm not sure if this is possible, can someone please confirm...)
------------------------------------------------- create a new project. include the wanted libraries. make a PCB & place all components. make a Schematic & place all components. now, Create Project Library. The resulting library should have everything... ------------------------------------------------------ Can this be done? ____________ Brian Guralnick ----- Original Message ----- From: "Abd ul-Rahman Lomax" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Protel EDA Forum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2002 4:31 PM Subject: Re: [PEDA] Merging libraries? | At 12:36 PM 1/30/2002 -0800, Ray Mitchell wrote: | >Over the years I've created many Schematic and PCB libraries and as fate | >(and sloppy programming practice) would have it, I've ended up with many | >duplicate or semi-duplicate parts in different libraries.
