API DEVELOPMENTS
EcoTools – Essential Applications to Enhance Designer Efficiency
- Ecodesign has developed a range of APIs that integrate seamlessly with EPLAN, enabling designers to significantly enhance their efficiency.
- Our APIs offer a variety of capabilities, from simple tasks like adding a revision cloud around design changes to fully automated design solutions. Watch EcoTools video
- To utilize these APIs, you only need the EPLAN API Runtime add-on, which is cost-effective and available directly from EPLAN. The API Runtime can be added to any EPLAN P8 Select or Professional license.
- Our APIs are available for purchase.

Eco Schematic Generator (ESG) – Auto-generate schematic drawings
- The Eco Schematic Generator (ESG) is a powerful tool designed to automatically generate schematic drawings. By seamlessly integrating with EPLAN P8 or ProPanel and Excel, ESG allows users to populate project data into Excel and instantly produce accurate, error-free schematics.
- This automation significantly reduces manual input, saving designers hundreds of hours while ensuring high levels of accuracy and efficiency. Watch ESG video

Excel Data Preparation – Optimizing Workflow Efficiency
Optimizing Workflow through Data Sorting and Preparation
- A critical step in optimizing workflow and automating the generation of schematic drawings is efficient data sorting and preparation. Many clients store their project data in Excel or have data that can be extracted into an Excel file.
- Once the data is in Excel, we organize it into a structured format that enables designers to autonomously populate variables within the EPLAN macro, such as device tags and descriptions, using VBA code. This process also allows us to generate a comprehensive schedule of devices and equipment required for the schematic drawings.
- After the schedule is prepared, we import the necessary macros and variables from the schedule, seamlessly generating schematic drawings directly into EPLAN P8.
