EAGLE - How To Create Library Symbols File From Schematic?

I have a project with a schematic and board file. See attached files.

I am trying to create a library file so the above completed part stays together and can not be changed.

 

Where in EAGLE Symbols view can I import a sch file?

You do it the other way round. From the schematic editor, you can export a library of all the parts used. That export option then also give the option to adjust the references so that your newly exported library is the one referenced as "in use".

Thanks for the response. 

 

So I went  through and selected the below:

 

File -> Export -> Libraries

Used these export options:

I did notice I got a few of these unknown layer errors during the process. I just clicked Ok and it continued to export.

Library File

 

I renamed the .lbr file

In the main project when I go to import this new library this is what I am seeing. (The library is marked as USE).

The below is not correct. There should be a entire schematic that I would assume is listed as a single entity for me to import. Any suggestions?

Ah, possibly I may have misunderstood what you wanted to do. I now suspect you don't want a full library for your project but rather you want to turn your project into a single component. If so, there's no easy way to do that. The nearest thing would probably be Design Blocks.
