# Excalidraw Automate How To
|
|
|
|
Use ExcalidrawAutomate to create or manipulate Excalidraw drawings using the [ExcalidrawAutomate Script Engine](ExcalidrawScriptsEngine.md), the [Templater](https://silentvoid13.github.io/Templater/docs/) or the [QuickAdd](https://github.com/chhoumann/quickadd) plugins, and to generate embedded SVG and PNG images using [DataviewJS](https://blacksmithgu.github.io/obsidian-dataview/docs/api/intro/)
|
|
|
|
With a little work, using ExcalidrawAutomate you can generate simple mindmaps, build a family tree, fill out SVG forms, create customized charts, or automate simple tasks (i.e. create macros) in Excalidraw.

## ExcalidrawAutomate Script Engine
|
|
I recommend using the Scripts Engine for "Macro" like automation, when you want to automate a few simple steps, such as adding a box around a text element, or connecting two objects with an arrow, or setting line width or the grid to a custom value.
