paste mask openings only for populated components

Is there a way to plot or copy paste mask openings only for populated components (i.e. components that do not carry the attribute 'do not populate') automatically?

Can you reference any pre-existing SKILL code that can be modified for this purpose?

The only time I was asked to do this the simplest solution was to save the design, then detete the component symbols with the 'do not populate' attribute, then generate the paste mask artworks & then reopen the design to undo the deletion

That's a good and easy solution. But probably not so well suited for a board with 4000+ components and different population versions...
