This script might also be useful: http://blog.d3in.org/post/7857480613/resetprototy…

You may be frequently using the Actions feature in Omnigraffle. If you happen to be using the “Shows or Hides Layers” action with the Presentation view, you may have remarked that you need to set the original view each time you want to test your prototype. For instance, if you were modifying a specific layer that you forgot to hide, it might change the way your prototype appear.

The purpose of this AppleScript is to set your Omnigraffle document to its default state in just one click.

@Jakub – Thanks for the writeup!

@Benny – A quick look at Illustrator's AppleScript library indicates those objects aren't scriptable. I think CS3 and past that, though, do use Javascript for scripting. Maybe that has some capabilities to script visibility of individual layers.

I don't know much about scripting Adobe apps with Javascript, sorry! If you do any legwork on it, let me know and I'd be happy to lend a hand.

Someone definitely should set this up. Want to try porting that to Illustrator? :)

Wow. Can we do the same thing in Illustrator?
