Problem

The DWG drawing contains shared cells and a method is sought to extract those cells out to a cell library.

Solution

You can export the shared cells in your file to a new cell library using the keyin:

EXPORT CELLS SHARED <full path and filename>

For example, entering the line keyin below will export the shared cells to the file: test.cel on your D: drive.

eg. EXPORT CELLS SHARED d:\test.cel

Once exported, you can edit the contents of these cells (models) in that exported file and after that update the cells in your original file(s).
