Using a exist layout

I would like to know how do I pass an already existing layout in another file to the file that I am using Windows would use adCenter, but on mac how do I transfer this file without adcenter?

Welcome to Autodesk Forums!

In AC for Mac you can only import Page setup from your existing drawing (it should be named) via Page Setup Manager. Than use Copy - Paste to copy contents of existing Layout to the new drawing.

I didn't understand, would you explain me in more detail? I'm a bit lost in autocad and its commands. I want to set the layout according to what the teacher has passed, the only way I found was to pass my project to the file where they are ready layouts, but has some settings in this file that makes my project stay with measures misconfigured. Help me please!

I think you need to put layouts from teacher's drawing to your drawing (copy -paste via clipboard), than create view ports in this layouts and set appropriate scale for viewports.

But when I'm trying to do this, I can't do change some items of this layout, for example name and what is that drawing. There isn't nothing like ADCenter in mac ? Because if I try via Clipboard, I can't do change and it's more transparent, like a background with transparency enabled.

There is no ADCenter in AutoCSAD for Mac.
Sorry, seems I can not help you without having at hand your drawing and teachers layouts template 😞
