lpseifert Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Use Design Center (Ctrl+2). Navigate to the source dwg, expand Layers, Drag and Drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darn-net Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 You could also use matchprop to match properties between open drawings. It works well to copy dimension styles also. After you select an object the command line gives you an option for settings. The settings lets you control what you want to match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichterGMC Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 All I do is copy a line or something in that is on that layer into the drawing that I want the layer to be in, and then delete the object. The layer will remain there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can bring in the layers without all of the dimstyles, textstyles, linetypes etc. that come in with geometry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I guess you would use design center :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
