Do you know the recurring tasks that take up a lot of time during project planning? There is good news. You can automate many of these tasks using scripts. This book is aimed at EPLAN users and administrators who want to use scripting to speed up their workflow in order to gain more time for essential tasks.
To begin with, you will learn how to customize the ribbon without programming. You will then be introduced to the creation of scripts with C#. The complexity of the programming is kept low so that even beginners without programming knowledge can quickly find their way around.
The book covers the following script functions, among others:
- Create ribbons
- Change individual or multiple settings simultaneously at the touch of a button
- Create user interfaces with individual control elements (checkboxes, loading bars, buttons)
- Program control via user interactions and much more
- Exchange data with external systems
- Change articles
You will also learn how to automatically create labels and PDFs as well as import/export parts lists and project properties. You will also learn how to export data to other programs using common exchange formats (CSV, XML). The "Practical examples" chapter, which contains ready-to-use scripts, rounds off the content.
All examples are available free of charge. The introduction with the chapter Beginner is also freely accessible to everyone.
