Scripts

In This Topic

You can run scripts in Eplan without having licensed the Eplan API. Scripts are executable program code, written in C# (language version C# 13, *.cs files) or Visual Basic.NET (*.vb files). Scripts always exist as source code. When you start a script, it will be loaded into the system, compiled and then executed.

For scripting, go to the ribbon item File > Extras > Interfaces. You will find the category Scripts.

After calling File > Extras > Interfaces > Scripts > Run, a file dialog appears and a script file to execute can be selected.

Scripts are always compiled with the Roslyn .NET compiler.
