Layouts to Single Drawings with only the objects in the layout Viewports

I need some help reducing file sizes down from an original drawing of 50+mbs and 108 layouts.

I have found 3 different lisp routines to export every layout of a drawing into their own drawings but they all do the same thing.

What I am finding is that all lisps will copy all of the model space contents and paste it into the new drawing and then have a single layout. This only reduces the file size by about 8mbs.

 

What I was wondering is if there is something out there that would copy the objects/layers that are active in the viewports of the current layout only and create a new drawing. This would reduce the file size down to 0-2mbs and be more managable for our clients.

 

Thanks for your help.

 

The lisp routines I am refering to are located at:
