Moving Drawings and Layers Interchangeably

[Anonymous]

Help! I have two .dwg files. One file has every layer that I could possible need on it. The other file is an existing file created in my office. So, I want to take an existing drawing that does not have a good layer naming system and move it into the file that does. I saw in another post that this can be done in the Design Center, however when I go to copy layers from the existing file to the destination file it won't let me. Does this make any sense?

Actually, no, it doesn't.  Did you expand the tree in the DC and highlight the layers in the layers section of the OPEN DRAWINGS portion of the DC and drag them to the open drawing and see a little rectangle next to your cursor and then let the mouse button go?

Shoulda worked.
