Skipped entity message when calling "draw_layout" function part of the FRONTEND module on the drawing add on

[Jaime-Moniet]

Hi,

I was wondering if there are any tips on how to avoid the skipped entity message when calling the draw_layout function part of the FRONTEND module on the drawing add on. I get hundreds of lines of the same skipped entity message when running my script, but the script runs correctly at the end and creates all the PDFand SVG files correctly.

message: "skipped entity ATTRIB(#None). Reason: "invisible""

I was exploring the filter_func argument in the draw_layout function to skip any of the invisible entities and bypass the log_message but I have not been successful.

Create your own Frontend by inheriting from ezdxf.adddons.drawing.frontend.Frontend and override the skip_entity() method.

I agree that a custom frontend is a good idea but now that ezdxf uses logging extensively, perhaps the default log_message() should output to the ezdxf logger so it could also be silenced by setting the level of that logger? (I know I was the one to originally put the print() in there so sorry about that).
I think it's still important to have log_message though and not just send the message to the ezdxf logger from skip_entity() in case the user wants to do something special in a custom frontend.

Replaced print() by logger.info() in Frontend.log_message().

Thank you @mozman and @mbway ! This solution works for me.
