Kelly-cruise Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Welcome to the forum. You don't need any additional software, just use the WBLOCK command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

profcad Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 You can also use AutoCAD Design Center to transfer blocks from one drawing to another. Type ADC to start design center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBox Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 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. :wink: To accomplish the stated task, it would be simple enough to iterate a valid selection set, and WBLOCK each entity individually.

dyelle29 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Hi, I tried your lisp routine to export blocks, and it worked great. I'm curious though if there's a way to make it export as .dxf files. I need to create multiple .dxf files for a manufacturing template, and right now the only way is to save each file individually, or download a converter. Thanks!

Thanks for the mention GCmini, AutoWblock is available at no charge on the Autodesk App Store (for recent AutoCAD) or the DotSoft Freeware Page (for older AutoCAD, BricsCAD and IntelliCAD).
