License required

This command needs a valid DVDAddin account (Standard or PRO). It is fully available during the Trial period.

What it does

Auto Click records every mouse click you make together with its screen coordinates and timing, stores them as a table on the active sheet, then replays that exact sequence for as many loops as you configure.

It covers the repetitive work that has no "run in bulk" button: stepping through page after page in an estimating package to export reports, ticking hundreds of approval rows in a document-control portal, or repeating a click sequence in design software with no macro support.

How to use

1. Open a blank sheet (or one you are happy to have the click table written into).
2. Go to tab DVD Addin → group Graphics → Shape Menu → Auto Click. The Auto Click — record and replay mouse clicks window opens.
3. Press Recorder to start capturing. The Last click field shows the coordinates just captured, and each click is appended to the sheet as a row with the columns No. / Timestamp / X / Y / Wait (ms).
4. Perform the sequence you want to repeat in the target application, then press Recorder again to stop recording.
5. If needed, edit the X / Y / Wait (ms) values directly on the sheet to fine-tune positions or delays.
6. On the Loop: line enter how many times to repeat and how many seconds between rounds.
7. Press Run to replay. The status line (initially Ready) shows progress; press Stop to interrupt at any moment.

Example

You have to export 60 inspection records from a QA/QC application, and each one takes the same four clicks: the "next record" arrow → Print → pick the PDF printer → Save.

Open Auto Click on Sheet1, press Recorder, perform the four clicks for the first record, press Recorder again. The sheet now holds four coordinate rows. Set Loop: 59 times, wait 3 seconds between rounds and press Run — the sequence repeats for the remaining 59 records.

Notes

• Replay uses absolute screen coordinates: do not move or resize the target window, and do not change screen resolution or display scaling between recording and running, or the clicks will land in the wrong place.
• The click table is written to the active sheet — switch to an empty sheet before recording so nothing gets overwritten.
• While it runs the program drives your mouse; keep the Stop button reachable and allow enough seconds between rounds for the target application to respond.
• Only mouse clicks are simulated, not keystrokes — steps that require typing cannot be automated with this command.
• The clicks are real clicks delivered to whatever window sits under the cursor; test with a small loop count before running against live data.
