Copy form from template

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.

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.
