Cannot add layouts using Design Center-AutoCAD LT 2016

AutoCAD LT 2016
Adding layouts from one drawing to another without using Design Center.

     I was trying to add layouts from one drawing to another using Design Center. When I selected the layout and "right-clicked" and selected 'Add layout' my drawing command line would state "Layout (s) added. However, there was no layout(s) added unto my drawing. I searched in vain for a solution since Design Center is very handy to use.
    I found i had to use a simpler way to add the layout by going to the layout and selecting any layout and right-clicking and choosing "From template.." The importing of layouts from a template .dwt also allows you add layouts from any  .dwg file. If the layout is imported a short loading will take place and the lower right part of the window will have a loading bar stating "Scanning drawing". Once the layout is successfully imported it will be the last layout in the drawing.
