ObjExp : ExporterPlugin

The ObjExp ExporterPlugin introduced in 3ds Max 2010 exposes an interface to access the ASCII-based INI files location and name of the exporter dialog. The settings can then be queried and modified using the regular MAXScript INI settings functions getIniSetting() and setIniSetting().

ObjExp Interfaces:

Interface: iobjexp

Methods:

<TSTR by value>objExp.getIniName ()

Returns the name of the Obj Exporter Settings file.

   

<TSTR by value>objExp.getPresetIniName ()

Returns the name of the Obj Exporter Preset file.

   

EXAMPLE:

--get the keys of the General category:
getIniSetting theINI"General"
-->#("UseLogging", "Preset", "MapSearchPath")
 
--get the value of the General >Use Logging key:
getIniSetting theINI"General" "UseLogging"
-->"1"
 
--Turn Loggingoff:
