The scripting functionality allows you to create pins and markers as well as to add content by using JavaScript. Workflows, for example, can be created faster by parsing information contained in a .csv or .xml file. Open the script console by clicking the Script button on the top menu.
Note: If the Script button is missing in the top menu, it may be that Spatial Editor has not been updated to its latest version or that the functionality is set to be hidden.
- Make sure to update Spatial Editor to the latest version through the respective update notification in the application.
- Open the Settings Menu on top, activate the checkbox next to Scripting, and click on OK.
- The scripting menu looks like this:
- Use the main text editing panel to write the script and run it by clicking on Run Script.
- The bottom panel is a console showing the output of the run script.
- Use the top menu icons to save, reopen, or create new scripts.
