Now here is the hard part, drag the layout onto the desktop and you will see it added to the layout tabs. Hard right? You can drag anything into the open dwg Blocks, Layers whatever. DC is probably the most versatile tool acad has ever created and it has been around for yrs.
    Yes DC is great, and all good info here... but if you read the OP's request, DC won't work here.
    You can't drag multiple "layouts" on to one layout.

    myeager171 - I don't think your method will get the results franciscorefosco is looking for. Design center will not add multiple layouts onto a single layout. These added layouts would be independant copies not a live instances or references as franciscorefosco wants. I do agree with you that design center is a great tool for importing Blocks, Layers, LAYOUTS, etc. between files.

    I suspect that the OP simply wants a sheet of thumbnail views of the other sheets.
