Function

Function	Description
void AddFootprint( BSTR name, BSTR alternate)	Adds a new blank footprint definition to the library.
void AddPart( BSTR name)	Adds a new blank part definition to the library.
void AddSymbol( BSTR name, BSTR alternate)	Adds a new blank symbol definition to the library.
void ImportFootprint( BSTR filepath, BSTR layerMappingFile)	Imports a previously-exported footprint. The footprint layer mapping must be complete. If the imported footprint has the same layer mapping as the library, then layerMappingFile may be blank.
void ImportPart( BSTR filepath, BSTR attributeMappingFile)	Imports a previously-exported part. The part attribute mapping must be complete. If the imported part has the same attribute mapping as the library, then attributeMappingFile may be blank.
void ImportSymbol( BSTR filepath, BSTR MappingFile)	Imports a previously-exported symbol. The symbol mapping must be complete. If the imported symbol has the same mapping as the library, then MappingFile may be blank.
void Close()	Closes the library
void DisableGridUpdate( VARIANT_BOOL value)void DisableGridUpdate( VARIANT_BOOL value)	Disables updates to the main library grid. When updating a large number of attributes in the main library grid, it is much more efficient to disable updates until all the updates are completed. Set value to "true" to disable updates. Set value to "false" to re-enable updates. When updates are re-enabled, the grid is refreshed in its entirety.
void Save()	Saves the library
