You can use the Import function to pull in items from one show into another, you can find this in the Disk menu or in the Show Library window. This includes importing fixtures and patch information however it is not currently possible to import workspaces. When importing fixtures you can choose to map them to existing fixtures in your show, so that playbacks, palettes etc. will link to the existing fixtures or you can import them as entirely new fixtures.

If you link to existing fixtures it will leave the fixture type and DMX address of those fixtures as they are, you would need to import them as new fixtures if you wanted them at be as they were in the imported show (assuming there are no address conflicts). You could try importing any programming you want onto the fixture patch you want to end up with and then either use that show or import that back as new fixtures after deleting the original ones.
