How can I export/import an alignment style from one drawing file to another? I want to also import/export an alignment label style.

First make sure you have the source and target drawings open and have the target drawing current. Then ...

Open the Toolspace palette;
Select the Settings tab on the side;
Scroll down so the source drawing is visible;
Expand this branch in the settings tree;
Find the Alignment branch;
Find the style you wish to copy;
Drag and drop the style name to the drawing area of the target drawing

Or, look on the Manage ribbon for the Import and Export Styles buttons (since your sig says 2014)

of course, if the c3d folk were ever listening to users, (or even talking with the AutoCAD people) they'd have wrapped that functionality into an ADC for C3D -- so the basics of importing styles from other places would be consistent.......

Several times I've requested the OPTION (disabled by default) to retain Styles for DREF Objects as well (similar to how Styles are correctly XREFed).
