You can copy from one drawing to an other or make a block of the parts 
you need.

Copy;
Edit -> Copy (CTRL-C)
Select the part and press the right arrow on the left side
choose reference point
switch to the other drawing (Window -> ....)
Edit -> Paste (CTRl-V)
Place the drawing where you want

Block:
Select the parts from your drawing
Block -> Add Block
Give it a name
And you have the block on the right side
After that, make a template with all your blocks...

Hope this helps.
