    I'm working on a project that has a large amount of files in which these files each have multi layout tabs. Since this project is a job that is being worked on by many different partnering companies, there is a need to upload everything to a ftp for all to use as refs.
    What I need to know is there a way to take a file that has say 6 layout tabs and extract them into single files. My process so far has been to take the file bind all the xref and then copy the file for as many tabs there are then open each one and delete out unneeded tabs until I have a dwg for each tab. This is a long process when I have 50+ files with 2-8 tabs in each.
    Any help?
