Model Space to Paper Space With Dimensions

Our boss wants us to figure out a way to export each paperspace layout as a DWG file with all linework existing in paperspace (Empty model space) for client turnover.

 

Using EXPORTLAYOUT almost works for this however there are two things:

Since we draw all our dimensions in model space when you run the command they come in at the original viewport scales not 1:1.

 

We also use the sheetset manager to populate our titleblocks which means as soon as you export to individual dwg files all those links break and display whatever the last active sheet was.

 

Any ideas/tips on how to get this to work efficiently for hundreds of layouts would be much appreciated.

The FLD2TXT.lsp should take care of that by changing all the attributes in the block to only text values - thus removing any fields:
