To create a second .dwg with the cropped objects you can use Design Automation, which allow you to open the file and copy the objects you need using AutoCAD engine.

Note that on Viewer there is a dbId, but this is not valid on AutoCAD. Instead you need to get the externalId, which should be the respective Handle. Then, on Design Automation, get objectId from it. See more here.
