I believe I have read recently that this can be done. You are asking about copying the metadata, if I understand your question.
You can script your cube or create an XMLA script via the Analysis Services Deployment Wizard.

I am not familar with the Analysis Services Deployment Wizard.

I have found out, that under the Project Folder of the Visual Studio Project are XML-Files for each Dimensions. This files have the extension .dim.

I will have to edit the DataSourceView Section in the XML file then it should word in the new Project.

regards
Jürgen

You can look up the Analysis Services Deployment Wizard in the Books Online, it is pretty well explained.
It is easy to use and can be located under the SQL Server section of the "start"-->"programs".
It will create an XML script that you can then copy to where ever you need it. Then deploy it via SSMS while connected to your SSAS server.
