Hey guys first post here.
I´ve got this dwg file, it is an electrical drawing of the whole industrial plant here where I work.
Since it is an electrical drawing it has a stardard format and it´s placed in a specific layer that has the frame that surrounds the drawing, the company logo, and a couple of field headers (page, next page, drawing number, machine name, description). So this is a stardard frame that it´s used for all of the other drawings that are placed in a separate layers. Each layer (that are not part of the stardard mentioned) corresponds to a single machine/diagram (pump, motor, I/O converter, softstarters, frequency inverter).
Now I was asked export those drawing to separed dwg files to include them in a document managing tool my company has implemented. They all must have the standard layer(frame with all of the field headers) plus the "viewport-like"(machine layer).
To makes things cleared I´ll give an example.
I have an electrical dwg called industryelectrical.dwg
it has the follwing layers:
STANDARD
MACHINE1
MACHINE2
MACHINE3
MACHINE...
MACHINE...
MACHINE...
MACHINE(N)
I want to save them like this in separate dwg files:
machine1.dwg
it will have the following layers:
STANDARD
MACHINE1
machine2.dwg
it will have the following layers:
STANDARD
MACHINE2
etc...
My question is, is there a easy way of doing this? I actually managed to do this but it´s kind of repetitive and I suspect there is a easier way.
I´m currently using the WBLOCK function and selecting the whole drawing with only the layers I want to view.
Thank you in advance for any help.
