Introduction
The process explorer records all the sequence of actions perfromed on 3D viewer and all actions can be verified at any given movement.All recorded steps can be stored as a Ennova script file(.esf). All these stored script files can be rerunned in batch mode or else one by one by using process explorer 'Import Script' menu. Recorded steps can be stored using 'Export Script' menu.
Ennova application client stores all commands history in Ennova script file (.esf) using QtScript. Customized buttons can be added on Ribbon & stored scripts can be attached to these buttons as explained in UI customization.
