Changing template files in an existing part file.

[Anonymous]

We just installed the new version of 2012 Product Design Suite.  I've spend many hours creating great little ilogic dialog boxes to populate iproperty fields using custom iproperties and then automatically place this data on the .idw file when the view is placed on the new drawing.  All works great when the part is created with my new 2012 part template and then placed on my new 2012 idw template.  The trouble is with parts that were created with 2011 Inventor.  Obviously, the old template does not have the ilogic data built into it.  Is there a way to upgrade/migrate the part template file from 2011 to 2012 on an existing part?

I think I'm asking for a miracle here, but I have an assembly with 40-50 parts that I created in 2011 and now need to build the idw files for them and would really like to be able have the customized iproperties added to the existing part files.

You probably need to search for a property copying utility. But this is just me.

 Do you have a way to automatically determine the values that you want to assign to the custom iProperties in each part?  Or do you want to enter or edit them manually for each part, using an iLogic rule that displays dialog boxes?

 If you need the iLogic rule, you might be able to use it as an external rule.  It wouldn't be stored in each part: it would be a text file on disk.  You could run it in any part.  This would save you from copying and pasting the rule to each part.
