The H-Factor

There are two ways of doing this. the first involves the Design Center and is, perhaps, the now preferred method:

Design Center Method

1. Open the drawings or template you want to copy from, and to
2. Switch to the 'to' drawing – the one that needs the layout tabs
3. Open Design Center (from the AutoCAD Standard toolbar, or Ctrl+2 or type ADDCENTER)

4. Click on the Open Drawings tab
5. Select the Layouts to be copied from the 'from' drawing (the one that contains the layouts)
6. Select the Layout(s) you want to copy and Right Click on them. Pick Add Layout(s)

Import From Template (or Drawing) Method

1. Right Click on any Model or Layout tab in your drawing. Pick From Template…

2. If you are going to import a Layout from a template, then just select the template and pick Open. To import from a drawing, pick the Files of Type drop down list at the bottom of the ensuing dialog and pick Drawing (*.dwg) and select the drawing you want to pull Layouts from
3. Either way, you will get a list of available Layouts from that drawing. Pick the one you want or use the usual Windows selection keys like Ctrl and Shift to select more than one
