    Question Export Layouts as individual drawing files

    I have a floor plan drawing that has lots of different information on different layers, and then several sheet layout tabs that have that floor plan on each sheet, with only certain layers showing, and a title block object on each sheet.

    What I would like to do is somehow "export" each sheet layout, containing the floor plan and the title block, to a separate file that has the title block in the actual model space along with the floor plan. Is this possible?

    You can use the change space command to push the drawing sheet into model space (its in express tools prior to 2007).

    Then you can either save the drawing several times for each layout (each time deleting the ones you don't need). Or I think I would probably look at x-reffing the original into each dwg file, that way any changes can be updated globally to all dwg files.

    This might do the trick
