Duplicate a Macro in Revit 2025

I'm still working on my last question (upgrading a macro to Revit 2025 with VS Code), but in the meantime, I have another question:

How can I duplicate a macro in Revit 2025? (ie. create the exact same macro with a different name and folder name.)

For example, I have one macro created that has Windows Forms References included. I would like to use this Macro as a template to create other macros. But atlas, there doesn't seem to be any "duplicate" or "copy" function in the Revit 2025 macro editor.

Maybe it's in VS Code?

I realize I can go in windows explorer, and copy and paste the macro folder and rename it, but that also requires renaming a few other files, and even editing a few files to correct paths and file names. I was hoping there is an easier way.

I never found a way to duplicate the macro, so maybe this should be a topic for the Revit Ideas section.

Someday I may try to write a macro that does this. I believe it just a matter of copying files and folders and renaming them.

Anyhow, I realized a template might not be necessary. Windows forms can be added in VS code simply by adding a UseWindowsForms property in the project csproj file.

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk"> <PropertyGroup> <TargetFramework>net8.0-windows</TargetFramework> <ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings> <UseWindowsForms>true</UseWindowsForms> <UseWPF>true</UseWPF> <Nullable>enable</Nullable> </PropertyGroup>
