I am looking for a solution.

I have a map drawing with multiple xrefs. (w/Building, utilities etc)
I would like to cut out (xcut) a rectangular section of any given area and be able to wblock or paste it into another drawing(s).

I would like to be able to do this so that I can create multiple smaller and independant maps from the larger map without any xrefing.

Xclip doesn't deliver for my needs, it still referances the clipped xref drawing(s) in the new drawing.

I want to be able to cut (xcut) right thru the drawing and xrefs and be able to paste the cut section into a new drawing (without the xrefs). Perhaps this feature could be called xcut. Because it cuts right thru all the xrefs.

Thanks

I have tried this sort of idea with a few things. I find to get the job done
I use two master files with all the xrefs in that I need , do a save as and
then do xclip with a simple match line. Not exactly what you need but I
created something like 22 drawings off of one master. After that I turn off
the layers that I don't need, purge as well. I know this is not exactly what
you are looking for but it is along the same lines and gets the job done.
