Duplicate multiple drawings in a project

I'm working on a project where I need to duplicate several drawings and only change the info in the title block. The drawings in question are manufacturer drawings that have been placed on the clients title block. They want a unique set of drawings for each instance of that piece of equipment. For example, if the drawings are for a switch, and there are three switches in the project, I need three sets of the same drawing. The only difference would be within the title block where the switch name will be, along with a unique drawing number.

 

Is there an easy way to do this? 

 

The main problem I'm having is simply duplicating the drawings is removing the drawing properties and I'm having to manually re-enter all of that information.

Right-click the drawing in the project manager, and select "Copy to..." ?

If it were a handful of drawings...maybe. But I have to duplicate a set of 30 drawings 3x's and a set of 10 6x's.

 

If I had known I'd have this issue, I think I would have modified my wd_m block to include more of the drawing properties so that they would carry over into copied drawings.

You can export/import the drawing properties to/from Excel after copying...

It's not populating the data into the drawing properties on import. 👎
