Copy footprint with Catalog parts to other drawing

Hi,

 

I would like to copy a footprint with multiple catalog parts from a project to another project. I can use the Copy with basepoint, but this way I can only change catalog parts within the selected Table. I can not change the table because it is greyed out.
It's a footprint with 30+ catalog parts, It's a pain to add them all manually
Is there an other way to do this? maybe a Copy Catalog Assignment across projects?

 

Thanks in advance

One way to do this is:

1. use the AutoCAD WBLOCK command and pick all the footprints you want to insert into another drawing

2. switch to the drawing you want to place the footprints in

3. Use the AutoCAD Electrical Insert Panel Assembly command

 

This inserts the saved block, explodes it into its individual footprints and preserves the multiple catalog values on each footprint.
