AutoCAD Design Center: Copy Styles, Linetypes, Blocks from one drawing to another

Hey there,
In todays video I go over how to use the design center in autocad to quickly and easily copy or move linetypes, layers dim styles, blocks and more from one drawing to another drawing!
This tool in autocad can be a huge time saver when you need to import title blocks, layouts or anything from an old drawing or a template drawing into a drawing that your working on.
You can use it when you need a block that was made or used in an old drawing, but you would like copy them between drawings

Cheers and thanks for watching

like always...great informative video man. i have a question though, how do i automatically set these multi leaders or blocks that i have already without having to do it every time upon startup. how can i make it so whenever i start a new drawing, these line style, multi leaders, etc are already loaded?
thanks!

Great content CI! Keep it up.

I am a civil engineering student and was doing an assignment for staking a horizontal curve using the deflection angle and cord method (out dated but the professor insists, gahsk!) After doing it By hand I wanted to verify it on cad without creating and alignment.

Is there anyway to follow along an arc at a specific length? You could hack it by offsetting the cord length of arc given the radius but that is an extra step of calculation. Hope that makes sense.

Again thanks for all the knowledge.

Trying to copy Text Styles from one file to multiple other files. This is not working for me. Would it be because the style I want to transfer is not an .shx style?

Make a video how to EXPORT linetypes from AutoCAD

If you change a table-style text from Ariel to Isocpeur, save the table and set current. When using design manager to copy into the next drawing it doesn't change the text style. Any ideas please?

But how do you copy annotation styles from one drawing to the other? or i guess a better wording would be, If i updated an annotation style in one drawing, and that updated annotation into a new drawing, Since the new drawing already has that style name within it, the drawing will see that new modified style that i brought over as the same as the style that was already in the drawing (because they have the same name), and in turn i wont have the updated version in that new drawing. How do I go around this?

Hi, is possible to replace layer properties as color or linetype between files using the same layer names?

"Add" is not there when I right-click. Has this process been changed?
