Copying one part to project library copies whole library

Question

I'm new to Capture CIS. I'm trying to copy to the LMC6482 from the OPAmp library, but when I select the part, copy, and then paste it into the project library, it copies the whole library into my project. This doesn't happen when copying things from capsym. I notice that they seem to be different files. One is a part and the other is a symbol as far as I can tell. Is there a way to copy just a single part from one library to another?

#Tcl Script to help to copy a part from the source library to destination library. 
 # Please copy the tcl code to a notepad or notepad++ and save it as copy_part.tcl. #Now open Orcad Capture and go to capture command window(if command window not visible go to View-->Command Window). #Type in Command Window , source {<path_of_tcl_file>/copy.tcl}and press enter. 
 #After sourcing the tcl code, open the destination olb, part is now available to the olb. 
 #Getting the current session. set lSession $::DboSession_s_pDboSession DboSession -this $lSession 
 set lStatus [DboState] 
 #Package/Symbol/part name that is presnet in source library and need to copy to destination library set partName "LMC6482" # puts $partName 
 set partNameCS [DboTclHelper_sMakeCString $partName] 
 #set the source library from which you want to copy the part set srcOlb [file normalize {C:\Cadence\SPB_17.4	ools\capture\library\OPAmp.olb}] #set the destination library where you want to paste the library set destOlb [file normalize {C:\Cadence\LIBRARY2.OLB}] 
 set srcOlbCS [DboTclHelper_sMakeCString $srcOlb] set destOlbCS [DboTclHelper_sMakeCString $destOlb] 
 #Get the dboLib from the source library set srcLib [$lSession GetLib $srcOlbCS $lStatus] 
 # puts $srcLib 
 #Get the Dbolib from the destination library set destLib [$lSession GetLib $destOlbCS $lStatus] 
 #Get the package from the source library set pkageName [$srcLib GetPackage $partNameCS $lStatus] 
 # puts $pkageName 
 #Copy the package to the destination library set copyPkg [$destLib CopyPackageAll $pkageName $partNameCS $lStatus] 
 #Mark library for save $lSession MarkAllLibForSave $destLib 
 #Save the library $lSession SaveLib $destLib 
 #Remove the libarary form the current session $lSession RemoveLib $destLib 
 
 Hope this helps!
