easy way to copy details from layout to layout in different dwgs
(OP)
Is there a tool to copy a detail from paperspace(including viewport geometry, paper space dimensions and text) to a new drawing and maintain the paperspace annotation.

Do you want to copy beween Layout tabs or between Dwgs?

There is no perfect solution for your problem. But I suggest you to check the command LAYOUT, Template option.

I do not know why your dimensions do not transfer
from one drawing to the next. I use ACAD2000 and
it seems to work fine. I could see a problem
transferring something in the metric to something
in inches as being a problem, but not certain why
they do not transfer unless you do not have the
same layer definitions in both the same. Maybe
too, I fully do not understand your question.

As dbaird said, you can use the windows clipboard copy and paste commands, but you will need to use them once for paper space objects and then again for model space objects.
The viewports themselves do not always copy correctly - sometimes it is easier to recreate them. You will also need to reassociate all your dimensions that are in paper space to the model space features. I do not know of another way to do it.
