having multiple print configurations regarding visible layers, scale and paper centre saved in the drawing or in a separate file would be extremely helpful

I wrote a small QCAD3-ECMA-script to do this, but I stick at the same issue as:

http://www.qcad.org/rsforum/viewtopic.php?t=330

How do I switch the visibility of layers in a script? Attached you find my quick-and-dirty script (with copy+paste from Print.js and Dwg2Pdf.js) with "DOES NOT WORK" in line 56...

Thanks a lot

got it, perhaps it helps others:

  var layer = this.document.queryLayer(39);
  layer.setFrozen(true);
  var operation = new RModifyObjectsOperation();
  operation.addObject(layer);
  this.di.applyOperation(operation);
  this.di.clearPreview();
  this.di.repaintViews();

I will request closure of this request, beautify my script and upload it.

Attached is the cleaned up script. Two major issues remain (and I have no idea how to solve):
- points are not printed (printed without problems in original print function of QCad)
- blocks are either completely visible or completely invisible (blocks with multiple layers are visible even if some of these layers are frozen)

Thank you for any help on those issues.
