<div><br /></div>
<div>i have solved it for myself by using the „processing toolbox“</div>
<div>and create a layer for the selected objects (by rectangle)</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>however: many thanks for your alternatives</div>

<br />
· select just the parts of the current layer that you want to save<br />
(CTRL and select the parts)<br />
<br />
· right click on the layer name and save as<br />
<br />
· tick the box for 'save only selected features'<br /></blockquote>
<br />
There's an easier way -<br />
<br />
- right click the layer you want to save, click 'save as'<br />
- tick the 'extent' check box and click 'map view extent'<br />
<br />
done!<br />
