combining two or more layouts into one layout

[EconBlueprints]

I would like to combine some elements in "Layout A" and some elements in "Layout B" into a new layout template, "Layout C".

Both Layout A and Layout B reference CAD items in the plans associated with their respective Layouts.

Is there a way to pick items from A and B, then combine them into C without constantly having Layout C referencing the plans that are associated with A and B?  I would like the Layout C, complete with all of the CAD items to stand alone as a template without referencing any other plans or layouts.

Thanks,

Try just keeping all plan files and layout files in the same job folder and see if that helps.

You can copy from one layout to the new layout (with x12 you can have more than one layout file open), they should keep the association and if you need to change one layout box to a different plan then there is the little red/black chain tool at the bottom when the layout box is selected that will allow you to associate it with the correct .plan file.  But as Tommy mentioned it is best if they are all in the same folder.
