replace library names in schematic

[Harry Herbert]

Using exp-project-lbr.ulp will create alibrary from my project. But it doesnt replace the part directive in the schematic to the newly created libray.

Is there a way to do that??

Greetings

Harry

Hi Harry,

You haven't said what version of EAGLE you are using but in the more recent Autodesk versions, the exp-lbrs.ulp ULP which is called from File->Export...->Libraries gives an option to create a replace script. Once run the libraries in the board will be pointing a the exported libraries instead.

Best Regards,

Rachael

see "help update"

UPDATE old_library_name = new_library_name;

But if my project contains parts from 10 different libraries, must I then execute this command ten times??

yes

it could be automated using an ULP though.
there might even be one around already.

Go here
http://eagle.autodesk.com/eagle/ulp
and search for
exp-lbrs-replace2.ulp
This does what you want.
In Bob Starr's words

"I modified the export project ULP to allow exporting all parts into a
single project specific library. BUT, the magic part is that it also
generates a script you can run afterward to replace all parts in the
schematic so they reference the newly created project specific library.
I\'ve also updated the ULP so it now shows a list of all libraries used
in a schematic and it allows selecting which library parts to
export/replace. Now you can easily export and edit any of the parts in
any of your designs within a single project specific library on the fly!"

If you are using any of the more recent versions of EAGLE since mid v8 then the built in exp-lbrs.ulp which ships with EAGLE and accessible from File->Export->Libraries incorporates all this functionality and also fixes some incompatibilities caused by the addition of managed libraries. You should use that instead.
