Hello,
this is a sample script that prompts the user for a file name and then copies the design from that file to the active document. You only need to have the file that is to receive the design data opened.
You could further adjust the script to copy only selected components from the parent design or place them in a specific spot. Now, by default, the script uses origin for placement.
Hope this helps
