Commandline ability to create model documentation

[dsargrad]

Can you please tell me if EA has a command line tool which will create model documentation?

We are looking to automate the generation of our model documentation nightly.

Thanks in advance.

AFAIK no. But you can easily write your own executable, that calls the appropriate Automation Interface methods (thin wrapper).

Thanks for the reply.
What are the "automation interface methods"? Can you provide me a starting point link that would help me to do this?

Thanks.

HI,

EA provides a COM API you can use to either automate certain tasks with an external Program or to write EA AddIns. Look here, this should take you in:

I see. thats very cool. I'll dig into the reference section.

If anyone has already created a simple application that is geared towards automated (command-line) creation of the model documentation, and is interested in posting a small snippet of code that does this it would be greatly appreciated.

As it is, with your feedback Makulik, I think I can see my way to doing this..
Thanks much.
