    Automatic actions
    In This Topic
    This topic describes the automatic actions for the EPLAN command line -- we also call them 'Command Line Actions'. In contrast to a normal ribbon action, an automatic action does a complete task without any user interaction. It will show no dialogs. 

    How do automatic actions work ?

    A command line action first checks, whether all parameters passed to it are valid. It checks, whether a given parameter exists or whether the given project is available, etc. Subsequently the parameter values are processed, so they can be passed to the parameters of the respective API HEServices class.The HEServices function now is called and performs the actual task. By this approach we can assure, that command line actions and HEServices functions conduct exactly the same internal functionality. 

    A command line action has either the complete or a subset of the functionality of the respective HEServices class. The following image shows the principle: 

     

     

    These are some of the available command line actions:
