Separate drawing of a layout
« on: November 21, 2016, 10:20:11 AM »
Normally, I receive many autocad drawing from a subcontractor. But he put all drawings on a layout with the specific title block. I want to separate those drawings to the single drawing and make a sheet set manager.  Could you please show me any LISP to separate multiple drawings on a layout with a fixed title block to a single drawing on a layout? Thank you so much for your help. :smitten:

Search this site, I remember some that exported the Layouts but not sure if the associated model space objects were included in the export.

Thanks Matt, looks like that command originated in version 2016.
Was it available in earlier versions?

I can confirm that EXPORTLAYOUT exist as far back as release 2013, at least.

AutoCAD has a command called EXPORTLAYOUT.

This command may not fit my problem. I would like to to separate multiple drawings on a layout with a title block to a single drawing on a layout. Thanks

I mean we can have a LISP when it runs it will ask 2 points of opposite corners (in this case is a title block). It will find the remained others 2 points of opposite corners. After that it will  separate each title block to a drawing on layouts. Thank you very much.
