Can you import a tab from one drawing into another? Not just the page setups but any objects that would be in that layout as well?

Found it. I made the drawing with the layout a template & used the insert pull down, layout & layout from template. It brought in the page setup & the title block I needed.

Does standard Acad have the design centre? If so you can also use this (control + 2) to insert layouts from other drawings.

Yes, Design center is available on standard AutoCAD, depending on the version, of course.

It does but I could only get the page setup from doing it that way. I needed the titleblock that was in the layout as well.

Thats odd. When I do it, it imports everything that is in paper space eg, title block, amendments etc.

Although if its just a blank title block that you want you should probably stick with your templates, it just means that you will have to fill out your title block each time.
