The Script Generator is a module in cadett ELSA that uses AutoCAD to perform the same operation on a large number of drawing sheets. In this way common routines can be made much more effective.

 

 

The Script Generator is used for tasks which AutoCAD can perform by repeating exactly the same operation over and over again for multiple drawing sheets. Typical examples of that are to plot all drawing sheets in a project and to perform simple changes. The latter can for instance be to replace the drawing frame or something else that is done in the same way for all sheets, or at least for a number of sheets.

 

The documentation of the Script Generator is divided in five sub-topics that are listed and explained below. You can use the links to access the respective sub-topic.
