How to export layers to different cad file.

[subramanian.nanda]

If i want to export multiple layer object to new cad file with out doing manually, is there any way? Lets say if i want to export all layer in the name of pipe (i.e Water Pipe, Drainage Pipe, Sewage Pipe etc..). I don't want to use layiso , wblock or saveas. Because am having 10000 file to convert like this. any body can help me out this exercise in smart way.

While this tool AutoWblock works inside one drawing at a time, it will let you select multiple layers and will export the contents of those layers to separate drawings (in the target folder specified).

Thank you for your prompt reply.

Could you please explain detail, Autowblock is not working for me.

After clicking the icon (inside your drawing), use the pull down in the upper left to select [Layers], then put a checkbox in each layer you want to export (space bar works well), verify your output path and choose [OK].  It should create a drawing file for each layer in the target folder.

you can use design center to get layers from one drawing to another, or you can simply copy some object that are on the layers you want moved over to another drawing.
