Plotting with a script or IUA

Plotting with a script or IUA

Plotting with a script or IUA

(OP)
I was tasked to find a way to plot sheets to a plotter using  a script file or IUA.  

The process being used currently is a template sheet is created on layer 0 then subsequent layers (1,2,3,...) contain the text/graphics for different operations.  The operator then applies a filter that contains layer 0 only goes to each layer for each operation and using the interactive 'PLOT' function to plot each sheet (usually using the quick-plot option).  

I have looked in the IUA manuals we have and I don't see a 'plotting' command.

Can I write a script to do this?
Can I write an IUA to do this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
mjs
