Duplicate View Template (multiple copies)

Lists-Logic
,
1

Hi all,
I was trying to modify mostafa’s code here and use it to copy/duplicate one view template multiple times.

changed the code part:
copyid = ElementTransformUtils.CopyElements(doc, elementlist, doc, Transform.Identity, CopyPasteOptions())

to
copyids = ElementTransformUtils.CopyElement(doc, view.Id, XYZ.Zero)
2a

the reason why is to get also the actual changes in view template not only the view itself.

Using Copy Paste Option:
2

XYZ:
1

The code is working with only one copy but what i want to do is to create a template and then duplicate it multiple times.

names = IN[1]

doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument

ids = [view.Id for view in views]
newviews = []

# ForceClose Transaction
TransactionManager.Instance.ForceCloseTransaction()
# Start New Transaction
t = Transaction(doc, 'Duplicate View Template')
t.Start()

copyids = ElementTransformUtils.CopyElement(doc, view.Id, XYZ.Zero)

for id,name in zip(copyids,names):
	newview = doc.GetElement(id)
	newview.Name = name
	newviews.append(newview)
	
# End Transaction
t.Commit()
# Assign your output to the OUT variable.
OUT = newviews
