intlib_extract_sources

Extract editable source libraries from an Altium integrated library.

An .IntLib is a package that contains compiled component metadata plus embedded source libraries such as .SchLib, .PcbLib, and sometimes .PCB3DLib. This example opens an integrated library, prints a short summary, extracts the embedded source files, and writes a simple .LibPkg that points at the extracted files. When the extracted .SchLib or .PcbLib contains more than one symbol or footprint, the example also splits it into one library file per symbol or footprint.

What It Shows

  1. AltiumIntLib(...)
  2. Reading component and source-entry metadata
  3. Extracting embedded source streams with extract_sources(...)
  4. Opening extracted .SchLib and .PcbLib files with the normal library APIs
  5. Splitting multi-symbol .SchLib and multi-footprint .PcbLib files
  6. Writing an extraction manifest without reusing machine-local source paths
  7. Checking component_parse_error for vendor IntLibs whose component metadata is malformed but whose embedded source streams are still extractable

Run

From the package root:

uv run python examples\intlib_extract_sources\intlib_extract_sources.py

Output

The script writes:

examples/intlib_extract_sources/output/extracted_sources/
examples/intlib_extract_sources/output/split_sources/
examples/intlib_extract_sources/output/intlib_extract_sources_manifest.json

This is extraction-only. It does not rebuild or compile a new .IntLib.
