Hi Jean-Pierre,

There are three ways to do it:
- In the component tree, right click on a part you want to copy and
select 'Copy'. Then right click on the target library and select 'Paste
Part'.

- Export a part and then import it to another library (as you described).

- Open a part, select everything, right click on the canvas and select
'Copy Block'. Then create a new part then click Paste icon on the top
toolbar.

Regards,
Orson
