Copy DWGPROP custom properties between files

in Moving from A-CAD

Hallo

I have created a template with a titleblock and I added a series of custom properties with DWGPROP > CUSTOM panel (I added Items such as Forma, scale, date, project name, etc...) which I can change using sheet manager.

Template is fine if used as starting drawing, but when I try to import the titleblock from a template in a new layout, the properties are not imported.

In autocad you can use the PROPULATE (Express Tool) command.

Is there a way to inherit or transfer these properties ?

Thanks

Luca

    If you were to consider third party add-ons, DotSoft's ToolPac contains tools to:

    Copy: Copies the DwgProps content to the clipboard for pasting into other open drawings.
    Paste: Pastes selected DwgProps fields from copied content to the current drawing.
    Set: Sets specified drawing properties information in multiple selected drawings. A lookup table (copied from a spreadsheet) can be used to supply unique values for each drawing!

    Hello,
    there are the "ExpressTools for BricsCAD", a 3rd party freeware by Martin Drese;
    you can download from
    https://www.cadwiesel.de/cw_download_01.php?id=266
    should work then :-)
    many greetings !
