I’ve searched the forum but couldn’t find a solution—apologies if I missed it and happy to be redirected.

We need to export multiple layouts to DWGs (the client requires all our title blocks in the drawing, so exporting from model space isn’t an option). Is there a way to export a layout page where the detail view is embedded in the file? It is also of multiple buildings so it is important that we do it correctly and efficiently:))

Thanks in advance for your help!

That request is being worked on for Rhino 9.

We have an early version of the FlattenLayout command in the latest WIP which may help you. Give it a try [here](https://discourse.mcneel.com/t/new-flattenlayout-command-work-in-progress-feedback-requested/210795).

Any feedback will be very helpful to us.
