Is there a bug with SDK Copy Design (2012)? -worked fine in 2011. Don't want to go to vault as I am single user and SDK Copy Design was great in IV2011.

What kind of problems are you having?
When activated it comes up with Error message " Unexpected error while processing files" It manages to create the new folders but not process and rename files. Have tried 3 different models including one that I manged to copy IV2011.
Sounds like you should try the new iLogic Copy Design in IV 2012 (doesn't have to be an iLogic design). Its been working great for me.

Thanks Mark for the solution . Yes - iLogic Copy Design does what Copy Design did but far more advanced. One thing I noticed that if you have a very large project the load up time is long. I circumvented this by doing a Pack and Go on the original model and creating a new project-then applying iLogic Copy Design. The resulting assembly can be copied into the original then modified. Copy Design was much simpler but at least now I can copy frame generated models much quicker than re-doing the frame and individual edits. It will be faster once I become more familiar with iLogic Copy Design.
I just wish that iLogic Design Copy could do string substitution in filenames. It's pretty useless for us right now without that capability, because our project number is part of the filename. After the copy, we'd still have to use Design Assistant to change the filenames, and then a few days recovering from the consequent repetitive stress injuries!
We also think the iLogic Copy Design is useless because of the missing Replace string function. It would be ok if we wanted to keep adding prefixes and/or suffixes to our filenames for every design we want to copy. Unfortunately, that's not how the real world works.
Hopefully, SP1 will fix this "bug".

Hi Sbixler,
Have a look at the free tool called Design Cloner. Its got the ability to do string substitution amongst other things.
