How do I copy devices from one library to another?

From David B.:
  1. Make sure your custom libraries are available from the Eagle Control Panel.
  2. Create a new empty library.
  3. From the Control Panel, find your libraries.
  4. Right click on the parts you want to include and select "Copy to library".

This will copy the parts in the currently open library. Do this for all the parts you want to include.

From Sajid: Remember to select the devices (4 things in icon), not the packages, unless that's what you want. There's no way to only copy symbols, though they will get copies with devices.

How do I merge two libraries?

To merge entire libs, this ULP can help out, and it works with libraries with stuff in it. It's also available from the Eagle site.

  1. Copy this file to the ULP folder of your install.
  2. Open destination library.
  3. Go to File|Run….
  4. Select merge_lbr.ulp from the file selector.
  5. It will ask for the source library.
  6. It will show the devices in the source library.
  7. Select what you need.
  8. Click [Copy to dest].
  9. Remember to save the modified library.
