Batch Plot Windowing

We get a lot of drawings where all the individual borders are in one file, all in model space. By that I mean there are multiple plotted sheets of drawings, but they are not separate files, each drawing has it's own border but are all in the same dwg file in model space. This means to plot them separately, you have to window each border while in plot mode. Is there a way to batch plot multiple windows in the same drawing without knowing the coordinates of each border? I wrote a LISP routine that creates a script for plotting multiple windows, but you have to manually pick 2 corners on each border. Is there a quick, easy way to put each border in it's own layout? Then I could batch plot each layout. I'm using AutoCAD 2005.

 

It can be done depending on how the drawings sheet is set up.

If it is a block you could get the insertion point, scale etc and depending
on the block name you could get the xy coordinates to use in the plotting
routine.
