Export views on sheet without the sheet family

Thanks to Balázs Szilágyi for this posted on Revit Users Linkedin. 

The question posted was "EXPORTING REVIT FILE WITHOUT ALL SHEETS, VIEWS, DETAILS ETC ATTACHED" and is there a quick way to export stripped of content (sheets details and other views) that you dont want the receipient to see.

Balazs's very quick and simple method is to place the views on a blank sheet and then right click to "Save  to new file".  The new model file has the full model but without any views other than the blank sheet view. All the families not associated with the view (such as detail families, sheet families) are excluded. 

I did try this by saving from a proper sheet and it appeared even this sheet was excluded so no customised content needed to be stripped out. Many of us have built up sheet families highly customised which you wouldnt want anyone else to copy and alter for their own purposes.
