Hello,
Do we have any possibilities to copy local form from the template to existing old drawing ?
I know that there is an option to use Global forms but this is not a case. I have multiple forms for each type of the template. If i place them all to Global templates it will case a mess for the users.
I created the topic previouslly where the question was posted in another way but I didn't got good answer. Maybe this will be better way to maintenance the forms.
Re: Global Forms depended on file extension - Autodesk Community - Inventor
Thanks in advance.

Just found this topic. It isn’t supported in the API to copy forms from documents.

A workaround might be to create a new drawing with updated forms and copy parameter by XML and sheets to new drawing. Effectively leave the form there and copy everything else.
Or if this helped you, please, click (like)
Regards
Alan

I founded work around by my self.
For that purpose I used customized User Commands. Right now depending on active file and extension of it I can open from Tools tab requested Form with allows me to fill in needed metadata.
Two examples you can find in attachement.
