    Default Exporting multiple blocks in one dwg to having them as individual dwgs

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Hi
    What sort of program would I need to run to extract multiple blocks from one dwg to individual dwgs?

    I would appreciate any suggestions.

    Cheers

    Michael

    Welcome to the forum.
    You don't need any additional software, just use the WBLOCK command.

    You can also use AutoCAD Design Center to transfer blocks from one drawing to another. Type ADC to start design center.

    Design Center is good for transferring blocks to a single drawing (of course, you could always use Lee's 'Steal from Drawing' routine instead), but falls short of the stated request of placing each block in a separate drawing.

    To accomplish the stated task, it would be simple enough to iterate a valid selection set, and WBLOCK each entity individually.
