Exporting autodesk structural detailing parts as single files

Hi,

 

I am trying to send a 3d ASD model to a steel manufacturer, who wants all of the individual components (Profiles and plates) as a 3d model, on separate files. So each beam / plate etc will be a within it's own dwg / sat / etc file.

 

All of the elements have been autopositioned, and I would like the file name to reflect the position of each element.

 

I know how to export the whole or part of a model as an ACIS file. However to extract over 1000 elements individually would take time and could have errors in naming etc.

 

I have also tried sending them nc files, but they can't use these for some reason.

 

Any ideas, gratefully received.

 

Matt

I don't see a practical method except for the long painful slow option
