Copy new sketch to sheet with the drawing resource transfer wizard

[bsee1]

I have about 1000 or so drawings that have 2 iProperties in a titleblock.  These must be removed from the titleblock and split into a new sketch.  I've made a new sheet with the separate sketch and used the drawing resource transfer wizard to apply the change to my existing drawing.  The new sketch is now in the sheet as a resource, but it isn't *on* the sheet and visible.  How can I make it appear on the sheet? (Ideally through drtw since I'm already running that)

I'm trying to avoid having to manually edit 1000 sheets.

Only way that I know how to do that and it does not use the DRTW.  It assumes a few things.

1. You have to have the AutoDrawingResource add-in. Change the settings in it to look at your template file and set the check to "Autoupdate"

2. Place the drawing resource in your template file.

3. Open the idw you want to update to make sure updates it.

4. Use the Autodesk Task Scheduler to open the drawings that you want to update.

Now when you run the Task, it will open each drawing and the AutodrawingResource add-in will update the drawings.

There is probably a way to do it with iLogic, but the list of drawings (1000's of them) is the hurdle to get over.

Does this work with the .dwg file type?  On the page you linked to I don't see it mentioned anywhere.

Don't think that works with the Inventor dwg format.
