Has anyone created any of these for V16? And is this a replacement for Geert's 'EA-Matic'? Or are they just an add-on to the custom table thing?
Something which implements an 'if this...then that' scripting mechanism for EA would be a great addition to the core tool - which is guess is why Geert wrote EA-Matic, but so far I don't think the V16 Scriptlet improvements are this solution.

I think Model add-ins are actually the alternative for EA-Matic.

Hi Geert,
In your view, would there be a significant speed difference between a fully compiled C# Add-In and a Model Add-In (assuming either could be a solution to the particular use case)?

If being a replacement: have you approached Sparx regarding copyright?

I think most of the processing time goes to using the API, not compiling the javascript.
So I would expect both to perform very similar.

They are not using the same mechanism, simply a similar concept.
I don't think I would get far claiming copyright fees.

It's not us saying it's a replacement.
The development team does not keep tabs on what kind of add-ins users are writing or using. If there are updates and new features that match a third party add-in it's likely that we identified a similar need.
