====== Scripting ======

This page describes the use of Orbit Scripts to automate workflows, procedures, and processing. 

===== Concepts =====

The Orbit Scripting Engine enables bach automation of any action or tool available in Orbit. \\
The Orbit Scripting Language is not publicly documented. Custom Orbit Scripts are created upon demand by an Orbit Application Engineer. \\

Orbit Scripts are available for 3DM Content Manager and 3DM Feature Extraction Pro. \\
Running a script consumes a License Concurrent Use.

===== Add Script =====

Generally available scripts are shipped at installation. \\
Custom scripts can be added by copying the tailored-made Orbit Script Library (.oslib) and its Batch file into respectively the installation's ''../program/script'' and ''../program/bin_scripts/<script>/'' folders. 

===== Execute Script =====

Execute a script from the installation's ''../program/bin_scripts/<script>'' directory.  \\
Edit the script variables in and run the batch file starting with ''Do''.
