Scripting

ProCad.Scripting provides a Roslyn C# scripting host and command-script playback support.

C# Scripts

Scripts run with controlled globals, imports, metadata references, cancellation, and output capture. Keep scripts focused on document automation and diagnostics.

Typical uses:

query active document state
run repeated command sequences
export custom reports
inspect render stats or metadata
automate property edits

Command Scripts

Command scripts execute command-line commands from a file. Blank lines and comments are skipped. Scripts can stop on first failure or continue based on options.

LINE 0,0 100,0
CIRCLE 50,50 25
MOVE 10,0

Recording

The app can record command execution and save command scripts for later replay. Recording is useful for tests, repros, and repeatable editing workflows.

Safety

Script reference resolution is intentionally constrained. Add new references through the scripting host configuration rather than allowing arbitrary reflection or ambient application access.
