To do this, copy each macro object individually from the original project library to the current library. This way you will now have 2 copies of the macro, one in each project library. 1. Open library manager. (Tools -> Library Manager) 2. Highlight the project library that contains the desired macro. 3. Click on the Objects tab to view all the macro objects in this library. 4. Highlight the object name that you wish to copy, select Object -> Copy, then fill out the Destination section, making sure the destination library is chosen correctly.
You will now have a local copy of the macro in the new project library.
