No, it only works the other way round. PSX libraries etc. are much more 
complex.

I just created a Parallax Propeller part (DIL40) in DesignSpark. It only 
took a few minutes - I created a 40-pin schematic symbol, added it to 
the symbol library, created the part using the symbol and the DIL40 
footprint from the footprint library, and copied and pasted the pin 
names into the DesignSpark part editor from the Pulsonix part editor.

That would be a major upgrade. My guess is a year or so. There are 
likely to be a few new builds released before then. They typically go 
two years or so between major upgrades, I think that most other CAD 
companies do the same.
