These are the steps to copy the dimension style from one to another drawing:
1. Go to the View tab, Palettes, Design Center or type “designcenter” on the command line.
2. From the Folder list (it looks a lot like Windows Explorer) navigate to the folder, then the drawing that has the text or dimension style that you need.
3. Click the drawing’s Plus sign to expand it and choose the type of elements that you want to import, such as a text style.
4. On the right, you’ll see a list of the text styles that are available in the drawing. Drag the one you want onto the drawing area.
You can also use the Content Explorer, although the set-up processes more complex. Here are the steps:
1. Click the Plug-Ins tab, then click Explore.
2. If the folder where the drawing you is not listed, click Add Watched Folder at the bottom.
3. Navigate to the folder, select it, and click OK. AutoCAD scans the drawings in the folder; this process may take some time. The Content Explorer works best when you plan in advance.
4. When the process of scanning is done, or if the folder you want is listed, you can do one of two things:
5. If you know the name of the element, enter it in the Searchbox at the top of the Content Explorer.
6. If you know the location and name of the drawing, double-click the folder and navigate to the drawing. Double-click the drawing to display its elements.
7. When you see the element you want, such as a text style, drag it onto the drawing area to import it into your drawing.
This process will transfer all the properties to the another drawing
