You can run scripts in EPLAN without having licensed the EPLAN API. Scripts are executable program code, written in C# (*.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, the following menu points in the "Utilities" menu are available. 

 

 

 

After calling the menu point "Run...", a file dialog appears and a script file to execute can be selected. 

 

In a script following Microsoft .Net framework assemblies can be used : 

 

• System
• System.XML
• System.Drawing
• System.Windows.Forms

 

also these EPLAN assemblies are referenced by default : 

 

• Eplan.EplApi.Base
  • Namespace Eplan.EplApi.Base
• Eplan.EplApi.ApplicationFramework
  • Namespace Eplan.EplApi.ApplicationFramework
  • Namespace Eplan.EplApi.Scripting
• Eplan.EplApi.Gui
  • Namespace Eplan.EplApi.Gui
  • NameSpace Eplan.EplApi.Scripting

 

 

There is no way to reference additional assemblies (.Net framework, EPLAN or other providers)! 

This feature is only available for Eplan API developers having 'EPLAN API Extension' license.
