I dont think you can. Ive only ever managed to reansfer one at a time.
ODBC dosnt give you access to such things.
The only other thing I can think of is to do the following;
Say you have 2 projects; POLD and PNEW
- Make a copy of POLD (that the layouts are in at the moment) using the copy project utility, which will allow you to change the project name. Set the project name to PCPY.
- Delete all teh activities in PCPY.
- Transfer the activity code structure from PNEW into PCPY (may not be necessary if the structure in PNEW and POLD are identical.)
- Transfer the Resource and cost account libraries, unless the POLD ones are the ones you actually want of course.
- Copy the activities from PNEW into PCPY. You can use copy/paste if its only a few hundred, even a few thousand activities, or use DBF Export / Import if you have 000s.if you use DBF, you will need to do 2 sets iof export/import, one for activities (including Resources) and one for successor relationships. Copy/paste will bring it all over in one go
PCPY is now your new plan, with the activities from PNEW and the layouts from POLD
Needless to say, make a full set of backups before trying this, just incase it all goes South.
That lets you transfer only one layout at a time - I want to be able to select a multiple number - say 25 or more at a time from one project into my current project.

Easy way is to use P3 menu.
Open your current project where you want to import layout.
Select in P3 menu VIEW > LAYOUT > Transfer and select the layout you want to transfer.
