Extract a Project from a Drawing
 
 
 

When you extract a project you remove the project from the drawing database and are given the opportunity to save the project in an external project file. If you do not save the file in an external project file, the project data will be deleted.

To extract a project from an AutoCAD drawing

  1. Open the VBA Manager and select the drawing from which the project is to be extracted.
  2. Choose Extract.
  3. If you want to save the project information in an external project file, choose Yes to the prompt “Do you want to export the VBA project before removing it?” The Save As dialog box will be displayed, allowing you to save the file.

    If you do not want to save the project information in an external file, choose No to the prompt “Do you want to export the VBA project before removing it?” The project information will be removed from the drawing and will not be saved.
