I might get my hand slapped for this using Revit as long as I have but here goes. How do I save multiple sheets or views at once to a new file. Is this possible? I have a Revit project where I have multiple Master Format details within. I want to create a new file for each a lot faster than selecting one at a time.

The reason is to upload to a new cloud site so the details are seperate and not in one revit project file.

Your question is not clear:

• "How do I save multiple sheets or views at once to a new file."   If all the views on a sheet are drafting details, you can import into a new file.   The same with just drafting views.
• "I want to create a new file for each a lot faster than selecting one at a time."  << See above...   "faster" What?  Doesn't make sense.  Collecting drafting views in ONE file is fastest.

Ok once again for clarity....

I have a revit project within it are about 300 drafting details each on their own view and each on an 8x11 sheet.

The project was created to house all our standard and typical details for our arch drawings. It is a detail book.

I wish to pull each detail from this one Revit project and place them in a folder according to their master format name and division.

I can right click on the view or sheet and save to new file. This is tedious for every sheets so I was wondering if I can extract all sheets to a window explorer folder as an example publsihing to PDF multiple sheets.

See attached.

I'm still confused.   I don't understand why you want to complicate this and make it harder for your users. The process you already have of one file is the best except for possibly sheeting the views. If this project is too large to easily open, then consider breaking it down into a couple of files but individually?   I would say no.

If you export each sheet (with only one view) to a new file, your users have to open each individual file to get the detail and they will not see what it is until they open that file.   WHY?

Instead of individually sheeted views, why not place multiple, similar views on larger sheets in your library project where your user can easily inspect them and choose idividually or the entire sheet?
