ObjImp : ImporterPlugin

The ObjImp ImporterPlugin 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() .

ObjImp Interfaces: 

Interface: iobjimp

Methods: 

<TSTR by value>objImp.getIniName ()

<TSTR by value>objImp.getPresetIniName ()
