Transfering Document templates
(OP)
Hello,
I have a part document template I want to apply to a new part
that was not created with the template above....
Anybody can give me a hint on how to "transfer" part template into new part?
Thank you.

Try mac_copydoc.zip from http://swtools.cad.de/macros.htm
RE: Transfering Document templates
That's exactly what I need

mac_copydoc.zip is a Excell spreadsheet and I do not know how to run it, sorry.
The other macro I found works only on drawing templates ....

Part Name, Material Usage that has to be edited manually later on and few others.
All I need is to copy the settings from the template to show in the copied part .... sounds simple, doesn't it

You'll need to mod the code to apply to your custom properties, then use the copy properties function when you run it. This is the only macro I know that copies custom properties from one doc to another on-the-fly.
Also, http://www.lennyworks.com has a macro that can copy properties from one file to another, even in a batch process.

If they are straightforward custom or config props, they should be copied over when the template or component is copied. Unless some strange copying procedure has been used.
RE: Transfering Document templates
OK, I have a part template let's call it GoodTemplate which has some Configurations specific and Custom properties set in it.
I created partB which is a copy of part A.
Part A was created using some template that I do not care about.
I want part B to have Configuration Specific and Custom Properties same as GoodTemplate.
I hope I described it better what I am looking for.
Sorry for the confusion again.
