The display in the content pane at the right changes to show the individual layers
that are stored in the source drawing.
7. Click and drag the desired layer or layers from the content pane of the
DesignCenter palette into the window containing the destination drawing that you
opened in Step 2, as shown in Figure 6-12.
If the current drawing contains a layer whose name matches the name of one
of the layers you're copying, AutoCAD doesn't change the current drawing's layer
definition. For example, if you add a layer named Doors whose color is red into a
drawing that already includes a Doors layer whose color is green, the destination
drawing's Doors layer remains green. Named objects from DesignCenter never
overwrite objects with the same name in the destination drawing. AutoCAD al-
ways displays the message
Duplicate definitions will be ignored
even
if there aren't any duplicates.
If you're repeatedly copying named objects from the same drawings or
folders, add them to your DesignCenter favorites list. On the Folders tab, right-
click the drawing or folder, and choose Add to Favorites from the menu. This pro-
cedure adds another shortcut to your list of favorites.
To see your favorites:
Click the DesignCenter toolbar's Favorites button.
To return to a favorite:
Double-click its shortcut in the content pane.
