Hi,

I have some questions regarding the EPLAN API license. Should the API license be purchased separately? I already have a license for EPLAN and I saw the API .dll files in the installed folder. Does that mean I can use the API to create external programs?

Hi,

the EPLAN API files are always distributed with the correspondent EPLAN Version.
This means you always can see the API files.
For using them you need a EPLAN API licence.

Thank you for your response. Could you provide information regarding pricing and purchasing of the API license?

Also regarding the license, reading this page: http://www.eplan.help/help/platformapi/2.7/en-us/help/Scripts.html
It seems some of the API functionalities are referenced by default. Does these include functionalities to writeback overview and report generation?

Does the API license provide functions to generate reports? Can I use external scripts instead of API to do the same?

Hi,

about pricing und purchasing of licenses ask your eplan sales supports man.

>> Does the API license provide functions to generate reports
Yes

>> Can I use external scripts instead of API to do the same?
Some functions you can do with Scripting but not all.
You can have a look to the EPLAN online help to chapter about actions.
This commands you all can use with Scripting.
Also there is a menu point under utilities?? called "automatic working???"
( don't know exactly how this items are named in english Version of eplan)
where you can do some Automation in eplan. e.x. report Generation.

Then you can have a look at the suplanus.de Homepage of J. Weiher.
He has written a lot about Scripting in eplan.

So these are the functions I can use with scripting correct?: http://www.eplan.help/help/platformapi/2.7/en-us/help/API%20Actions.html

The two functions I want to use are this and this I think.

Both are inside Eplan.EplApi.HEServices Namespace. So I am guessing it is not free and cannot be done with scripting?

Yes, but it did not have the actions I wanted to perform like report generation and write back. I will look at Suplanus. Looks really useful
