What error messages do you get? What you are doing should work.

You can also create a DWG file that contains the layers, blocks, etc. and INSERT this drawing into your current drawing.

Better yet, add these layers, blocks, etc. to your template drawing and start using that template drawing - then these objects will be there from the start.

Hi there's no error but it doesn't work the way of copying /paste or drag /drop process is there any other way to do it

You have to drag them out of Design Center and drop them into the current drawing open on screen. In Design Center, highlight the layers or blocks that you want to add to the drawing, then grab them and drag them out. Is this the procedure that you are following and it's not working?

Thank you very much for the both responsed I did drag and drop using design center thru open screen it works.I did the wrong way by dragging and dropping to the design center below. This site is really good to learn autocad. :D :D :D :D

Would exporting a layer state carry the null set layers?

Try "Inserting" the whole drawing into the other drawing, use LISP-command.
(command "INSERT" drawingname \003)
this wil insert all stuf, but because it is cancelled, it wil not put any objects in your drawing, just the blocks...
