DEVELOPERS FORUM - Use ItemType Across Multiple Categories

Phil - Thursday, October 7, 2010 1:41 PM:

I have tried to think/implement different ways of accomplishing this, but have yet to find a "pretty" way of doing it. 

I would like to reuse 1 ItemType (let's call it Drawing) and have it be used across multiple categories (off the TOC).  I know I can have the ItemType show up under as many Categories as I want, but I need it to have its own repository in each category.  For example, I do not want the Drawing Items that show up under Quality Management, to also show up under Engineering.

I know I can just copy the ItemType for as many different Categories as I wish, but this will get ugly if I want to make a unverisal change to the ItemType for all of the categories. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I really don't want to have to go the multiple copies of the same ItemType route.
