How do you copy from one PCB to another?

DrLightning

I'm using OrCAD PCB Editor 16.3.S020. I have a nearly complete PCB. I have an old PCB with a bunch of misc doc on other layers. I'd like to copy that doc from the old PCB to the nearly finished one. How do I do that please? Please note I've searched help, but "copy" is not a very unique keyword for searching!

    ...just found menu option File / Export / Sub Drawing and File / Import / Sub Drawing. This worked. Note you have to watch command line stuff for prompt to use it properly. (Yet another example of very bad user interface on this product.)
