Printing only part of a plan (Solved)

Up to now I have managed by printing the plan to .ps, importing the .ps into Gimp, selecting the region of the plan I want, Cropping to Selection, and finally printing from Gimp.

Is there a simpler way ?

I think you can do similar in office softwares as well:

1, import ps or eps;
2, select scale/crop options;

It's probably efficient, if you want a single document to hold all cropped parts.

There are probably many cli tools for this particular job as well. Imagemagick:

convert -crop

Found a way to do it from LibreCAD:
Open File => Print Preview
Adjust the scale so that the white rectangle covers just the plan portion you want to print.
Click in the fixe item (dont know if this is really needed)
Open File => Print

And Bingo ! Only what was shown in the white rectangle of the print preview gets printed.
