CopyDataType - ABBYY Documentation

A new Document Definition can reuse a correctly specified data type from another project, which saves time and prevents configuration errors. The CopyDataType command copies custom data types from one Document Definition into another. It overwrites any custom data type in the target that shares a name with one you are copying.

The import raises the version of the target Document Definition. The copied data type is then available only within its own category, such as numbers, dates, or currency.
