You can't copy a complete layout to another FileMaker Pro file, but you can copy and paste all of a layout’s objects into a layout in another file. Select the layout objects you want to copy, and choose Edit menu > Copy. Then switch to the layout in the other file, and choose Edit menu > Paste. If field names are not identical in both files, you will need to respecify the field you want each field object to display.
