EPLAN Command Line Parameters

Like many other programs, EPLAN can also be started using a non-graphical user interface. To this purpose we provide you with appropriate command-line parameters which you can then enter via the Windows Command Prompt, on a different console, or with the Windows Run command.

The actual call of EPLAN is performed by specifying the executable file Eplan.exe. When specifying this command, you need to consider the file path where the EXE file was stored during installation.

Command syntax

Eplan.exe action /parameter1:value1 /parameter2:value2 /parameter3:value3

Command, action, and parameter are separated by spaces on the command line. For each command-line call, you may only specify one action to be carried out. All parameters that follow the action name in the command line and start with "/" or "-" are given to the action as parameters.

EPLAN provides you with several automatic actions which you can use to execute complete tasks from the command line without needing to see a dialog.

General command line parameters

In addition to the parameters of an action, you can also specify multiple general command line parameters on each command line. Without these general parameters, like /Auto, you cannot quit EPLAN automatically or start it invisibly. The general parameters must be given before the action name.

Eplan.exe /GenParameter Action /Parameter1:Value1

Note:

Pay attention to upper / lower case when entering command line parameters. The case of the action name and the parameter(s) must agree with the case shown here.

If an error occurs during the execution of a command line, it is logged in the system messages (command path: File > Extras > Command group System > System messages > System messages).
