Hi @mohammadkhader698 .

If the document is in the data panel, there is no need to export it.

The documents "A" and "B" are in the same folder, and the following script is executed with "A" open.

# Fusion360API Python script

import traceback
import adsk.fusion
import adsk.core


def run(context):
    ui = adsk.core.UserInterface.cast(None)
    try:
        app: adsk.core.Application = adsk.core.Application.get()
        ui = app.userInterface

        # Search Ducument(DataFile)
        targetDocumentName = 'B'
        df: adsk.core.DataFile = getDataFileByName(targetDocumentName)
        if not df:
            return

        # Insert DataFile
        # https://help.autodesk.com/view/fusion360/ENU/?guid=GUID-D2921ADB-3556-4B9E-98ED-2598EDDB852A
        des: adsk.fusion.Design = app.activeProduct
        root: adsk.fusion.Component = des.rootComponent
        root.occurrences.addByInsert(
            df,
            adsk.core.Matrix3D.create(),
            False
        )

    except:
        if ui:
            ui.messageBox('Failed:\n{}'.format(traceback.format_exc()))


def getDataFileByName(
    name: str) -> adsk.core.DataFile:

    app: adsk.core.Application = adsk.core.Application.get()
    dataFolder: adsk.core.DataFolder = app.activeDocument.dataFile.parentFolder
    for df in dataFolder.dataFiles.asArray():
        if df.name == name:
            return df

    return None

After execution, "B" will end up being inserted.
