The combination of the keys Alt + R displays only the layers Top, Pads,
Vias and Dimension first and then starts the print out with the default
printer:

ScriptFiles
Script files are a powerful tool. They can contain long sequences of
commands, such as the specification of specific colors and fill-patterns
for all layers. On the other hand they might contain netlists converted
fromthedataofotherprograms.
TheSCRIPTcommandisusedtoexecutescriptfiles.
Many User Language programs (ULP) create script files that can be
readinordertomodifyalayoutoraschematic.
EAGLE outputs an entire library, for instance, as a script file with the
aid of the EXPORT command (Netscript option). This file can be modi
-
fied with a text editor, after which it can be read in again. This allows
changestobemadetoalibraryquiteeasily.
There is more information about script files and export commands later
inthischapter.
