Someone sent me a schem/board to work on. I need to change the symbol of a part, the package is fine. I do not have the library for this part. When i do info on it it says Library=production, and i have no library named production. Is there a way to do this? Its a SOT-363 package which dosent come up under a search in my current library set, so rather than make a new part and have to remake the footprint, ide like to just use thie one.
Greetings Chupa,

Yes. A little fact about EAGLE is that all parts used in a project
are stored in the SCH and BRD files. Meaning you don’t have
to have the original library when the project is opened in
another instance of EAGLE.
There is a utility script (ULP) that extracts the components
from a project and places them in a new library. From there
you can edit copies and accomplish your goal.
I don’t have access to EAGLE this morning but I’m sure
you can find the ULP now that you know it exists.
Comments Welcome!

Thank you!
If the ULP gives you a “Can’t find c:/documents.scr”, check out [this post for an answer.

I did get the error but it still generated the lib fine anyway. Oh well, good to know! thanks!
