Please note that using scripting tools such as AutoHotKey is forbidden for both the educational and the professional version of the program, see the General Terms and Conditions
 (link to document at the end of the page), especially paragraph 5.3 (xi)

Jens, the scripting in AutoHotkey is NOT hacking, it simulates the mouse clicks and keyboard (hot)keys strokes, where a human is not (always) needed anymore to type with a keyboard or to scroll/click with the mouse (a human can take a break for a coffee Smile or have a discussion with a colleague) and it increases the productivity of the engineer a lot. I did once almost 8000 different PLE configurations calculation in 48 hours without any interaction with the PLE-program and the PLE-computer before the Gereral Terms And Condtions was written with a different script than above. I only monitored it through VPN with a laptop at home if it stopped at office or some error happened, but it didn't stop the calculations and all errors had been mitigated before with the script. It created also PDF reports. If AutoHotkey is forbidden then a mouse and keyboard should also be forbidden, I think Wink .

During the scripting with AutoHotkey for years together with my former collegues I tracked a lot of bugs in Ple4Win, which i informed you guys on the forums and e-mails. Mostly got fixed. So, it was good for everyone, because PLE is a very stable now and less unhandled program errors now.

I want to share this information, so the productivity of the PLE engineers can be increased/improved.
